I didn’t walk like this before.” However, no matter how much the mother crab wanted to walk straight, she kept walking sideways.” Mommy, maybe crabs can only walk sideways.” That’s right. Crab s can only walk sideways. That’s just the way it is. After the mother crab heard the baby crab, she was so embarrassed that she quickly went home and
hid.
