In the fable, "The Lobster and the Crab," the setting and the lobster's willing spirit help to develop the theme that risks might be required to achieve
adventure. The lobster wants to go sailing, even though it was a stormy day and his boat had holes in it. The crab says, "It is foolhardy to venture out
on a day like this" (Anonymous 1). In response, the lobster acknowledges his warning but tells him that he loves a squall at sea (Anonymous 3). It is
