Monkey Cubis is known for his endless curiosity and playful spirit, but nothing could prepare himâor usâfor his hilarious reaction the first time he came face to face with a crab!
It all started during a beach day trip with Dad. Cubis was excited from the moment they arrived, hopping from rock to rock, chasing little waves, and collecting seashells in his tiny basket. Everything was going smoothlyâuntil Cubis noticed something moving sideways in the sand. He froze. Eyes wide. Tail stiff. There it was: a crab.
At first, Cubis tilted his head in confusion. âWhat kind of strange bug walks sideways?â he seemed to wonder. He slowly crept closer, inch by inch, inspecting the creature like a tiny detective. Then, the crab suddenly raised its claws. Cubis jumped a foot in the air with a loud squeal and dashed behind Dad, peeking over his shoulder like a toddler seeing a monster under the bed.
Once he realized the crab wasnât chasing him, Cubis peeked againâthis time armed with a long stick he found nearby. He poked near the crab, which quickly scuttled away, making Cubis yelp and tumble backward in the sand, sending everyone into laughter.
His reactions didnât stop there. He tried mimicking the crabâs sideways walk, crab-walking with exaggerated movements, falling and rolling dramatically, as if auditioning for a beach comedy movie. Every time the crab twitched or moved, Cubis flinched, then giggled, pointing at it like he had discovered a new alien species.
Eventually, Cubis sat down at a safe distance and just watched the crab, still baffled by its weird ways. He munched on a banana while keeping a very cautious eye on the sideways stranger, occasionally making silly faces or trying to talk to it in monkey âchatter.â
That day, the beach didnât just give Cubis a new experienceâit gave us a memory full of joy, laughter, and the most adorable crab encounter ever!
