My Hermit CrabsBy William Quigley

One day I got Hermit Crabs.It was on Easter of 2010.

My Mom and Dad brought mycrabs home.

I found out that my sister did not like them.

So, my Dad said that I could not let them out to play when my sister is in the room.

If I want to let themout to play, I have to keep them

away from my sister.

So, I let them out to play. I have to keep them in my room,BECAUSE, my sister is afraid of

Hermit Crabs!

My brother’s Hermit Crab died.I had to go out and get another

one. Then I had to go out and get

two more because I like them so much.

Anyways, my brother doesn’t even like them anymore.

He tried giving my big Hermit Crab a kiss, and it pinched him on the

lip with his big claw. Ouch !

That is another reason that I am not allowed to let them out.

So, I am going to build a little wall in front of my doorway and let them

loose in my room when I get bored.

When I get the money, I am goingto the pet store and get a

bigger Hermit Crab. I am going to need a bigger tank.

If I can’t, then I will just have to usemy ten gallon tank because the tank

with my crabs in it, is only a thirtygallon tank.

I am going to need more sand too.

I am going to need a lot of water,sponges, and Hermit Huts.

I hope you liked my story about my Hermit Crabs.
