My b-rothefrl C 0 P L E X By ADELINE MARR 39 HE warm, soft breeze caressmg your harr the song of brrds soarmg gracefully above, the gentle lappmg of the water agamst the sxdes of the boat, a boy and a glrl 1n an entranced sllence Aahh' But no, the breeze was much too drstlnctly flavored wrth the odor of clams and fish to be lnspmng, the song of the bxrds was the harsh cry of a bony gull It was not a qmet stream reflectmg a poetrc wrllow tree, rather, It was the salty green bay bordered by hornd soggy marshes and weeds The g1rl, that was just I, and the boy? My brother' We were crabbmg, and the sum total of our catch so far, was three crabs One was a big grand' father, the next, a tmy baby, and the th1rd, an ugly, black-lookmg specxmen They were bubbling away rn thexr burlap bag, at one end of the boat. You can be sure I was at the other end! After perhaps half an hour of crabless crabbingf' we decided to 20 start home I can never explam how lt happened, but a sudden scrapmg sound made me look down, and horrors' There on the boat bottom was that grandfather crab' H1s sharp claws were extended hrs bulgmg eyes were starxng rxght at me I jumped from my seat, at the same txme hrttmg a hlgh C that even L1ly Pons would have envied In my haste, however, I slxpped and dld a remarkable dxve xnto the cold water' To conclude my story, my brother refused to k1ll the crabs, but I firmly msrsted that I would rather swxm home than nde 111 the same boat wrth the omery cutters, so he had to submxt to my demands. He cruelly murdered the three mnocent crabs and we peacefully rowed home. Incxdentally, I can't bear the sxght of crab salad smce that memorable occasxon, and, whenever I go swxmmmg, I fearfully expect some relation of grandpa crab's to grab my toe in order to obtain revenge!
