Once there was a horseshoe crab who lived near a jetty by the sea. One day, a disease swept through the area and caused all the arthropods to become ill. The tide brought in millions of larva that were infected with the sickness. The horseshoe crab tried to molt and shed its old skin to get rid of the disease, but it just wouldn't go away. Over time, the jetty began to erode and crumble into the sea. The horseshoe crab realized that it needed to find a new home away from the disease-ridden waters. So, it set off on an adventure to find a healthier place to live.

Reflections

-What do you think happened to the horseshoe crab after it left its home?
-Why do you think the jetty started to erode?
-What would you have done if you were the horseshoe crab?
