The Casebook of Constable Crab p.31


"SO, Jellyfish!" I demanded when we were face to face with the creature, "Where do you think you are going with Hermit Crab's House?"

"Who's house?" asked the Jellyfish.

"MY house!" Hermit blurted. "My own cozy little whelk shell HOUSE!"

"Your house? MY house!" Jellyfish replied indignantly. "Surely you are familiar with The Law of the Sea: 'If you HAVE it, it's YOURS!' and I HAVE IT! So it's MY house!"

I looked at the sad expression on my old friend's face.

"I'm afraid the jellyfish is in the right." I said.
