The Humble Hermit

By Jack Craib Smith

This short and humorous story follows the adventures of a hermit crab as he strives to survive in the ocean. Experience the fear he feels when predators encroach on his habitat and the relief when they're gone. His shell is not for life, and he must therefore change it as he grows. He can pick any type of discarded shell he thinks he can squeeze into. Some crabs have become very creative in their choice of accommodation. See the environment in which he lives, and the impact humans have had on it. Can he survive his trip to the beach and his first encounter with humans?
