Romancing of the Sea Shell

It all started when Mr. Crab was wash ashore by the tide . Mr. Crab had never been to this beautiful island before. He wonder if he should stay or leave.

He spotted one extra ordinary sea shell.

Mr. Grab was so captivated by this sea shell. He called it Beautiful. He love the sound Beautiful makes when he is very closed to her. It sounded like she is all around him.

He wanted to give her something , so she is aware that he liked her. He spotted a seaweed on the shoreline. He went over to it and brought over to the sea shell. He try to cover the sea shell with the seaweed.

He also found a yellow flower which he put next to the her. He just stare at her all day. The Sea Shell never move unless Mr. Crab move her. She does not seem to mind about the places on the island that he take her at.

He thought she was the lightest beauty in his eye. She was the perfect shape. She does not asked him for much but to listen to the beautiful sound she made whenever he was by her side.

It was the third day being on the island and he notice the weather was about to change. There is a storm coming by the look of the clouds. He had to bring his love to a shelter before the storm hits the island.

They kept each other company through the storm. The next day it was sunny again . He try to share the coconuts that have fallen from the storm with her. She just let him have them all. Beautiful did not have much appetite but she was tip top shape for his taste.

After four months being together , they have created beautiful hermit crabs together.

He carried her under the giant rock and cover them with sand. Sea Shell felt secured and safe under the sand next to Mr. Crab.

They made it through the night without getting hurt. He checked Beautiful to make sure was okay . She was intact and that all that matters. He give her kiss for the very first time. She accepted his kiss gracefully.

He was on top of the moon from experience of kissing his love.
