The Brahmin and the Crab

A young Brahmin ignores his mother's advice to find a traveling companion but agrees to carry a small crab. While he sleeps beneath a tree, the crab saves him from a deadly snake, teaching him that even a humble companion can offer great protection.

年轻的婆罗门不肯听从母亲的劝告结伴出行，但同意带上一只小螃蟹。他在树下熟睡时，一条毒蛇爬进了他的行囊，而螃蟹杀死了蛇、救了他的性命。这件事让他明白，再不起眼的同伴也可能给予重要的保护。
