== The Story of Darren the Hermit Crab and His New Home ==
Darren, a very small hermit crab, looked around his rock pool, and sighed. Everyday, Darren was stuck with the same, boring old starfish, the same moaning anemone. "I'm bored with living in the same old rock pool, day after day." Said Darren. "I really wish that I had a home that I could take with me. Then, everyday I could ramble around all over the seabed, and never get bored." Darren bumped into a jellyfish. "I'm looking for a new place to live." He said. "How about living in a witch's purse?" He pointed to a witch's purse and Darren wriggled his way inside it. But what he didn't know was that a witch's purse is where a fish called a skate laid all her eggs. And when Mrs. Skate returned, she was not at all amused at finding Darren crouched in there too. "Get out, you horrid little crab!" She cried. Then, just as Darren thought he'd never find a home  he could take with him, he spotted just the thing. It was an old tin can on the sea floor. He could easily fit inside that. He could even roll around inside it. "I don't want to live anywhere else." He said. "My new rolly polly tin house is fantastic. I can roll around in it all day, all over the seabed. And best of all, no one knows I'm inside it, till I stick my head out and go, boo!"
