Scarlet was a beautiful Strawberry LHC that humans would call a perlatus. She lived on the beaches of Indonesa?? and loved roaming and eating fresh food, soaking in the salt water and just playing with friends. She was getting older now and has had many years of this wonderful life, only having to worry when those funny human things came to the beach to catch and take away her friends. So far she had been smart enough to hide and stay out of their way! But then there was that day when something grabbed my shell from behind and I was lifted up into the air and then dropped into (what humans call a bucket) with some of my friends....Wow was this scary! I was being rolled around as they busily added more of my friends. Sometimes I was rolled completely onto the back of my shell as they swung this bucket thing around, and my only way of getting back on my legs was to pull myself up on my friends shells.
Some of my little friends were scared and crying, but there wasn't much I could do to comfort them as we were being thrown from one side to another. It then started to get crowded, so I had to constantly crawl over friends just to get to the top so I could breath. This went on for some time and then the next thing I new everything went crazy, we were all thrown sideways and rolling and rolling and ....Ouch we landed on something hard with my friends rolling and landing on top of me. It took some time before I pull myself up and see where I was and then even when I could I don't know how to explain it other than it was damp, stinky and cold. I could smell something and walked over to some stuff on the floor that some other crabs I had never seen before was munching on..yelk! That smells terrible! And one of them looked up and said, "young lady you are new here, but after a time you will become hungry and eat it as there isn't anything else." Oh my now I was scared, this old crab did not look that good and I could just imagine what I would look like if I stayed in this place.
So off I went, I had to find a way out of here before it was to late......to be continued!
