Look at the Sea

"Stop looking at me."

"You are quite interesting though," the seagull said.

"Look to the sea. There is plenty of room on this beach," the crab said.

"Those pinchers are a marvel. I wonder if you won't pinch me."

"That's what I was afraid of, that you will attack me."

The crab and the seagull stared at each other for a moment. Slowly, the crab drew nearer. The seagull kept on looking. The sand weaved its way around as the crab moved sideways, nearer the seagull. Its determination was steady. It will find a way for the seagull to stop staring at it. It clanked its pincers together. "I know what you are thinking of."

The seagull flew away. The crab sighed in relief. Not today would the seagull win. Now it wanted to find a good spot to soak up the sunlight. The shell that the seagull stood over looked enticing.
