Martin Luther King Crab Jr.

"Next Monday is Martin Luther King Crab Jr. day!" Mr. Fin announced, while passing out books, "These books are all different, but all about King Crab. I want you to read them all, then I will pass out a few simple questions that are answered in all of the books." Darrin, a small turtle, read his story, it said:

Martin Luther King Crab Jr. was a great sea animal! He's famous for his speeches, but one was very important. Back in the day, different colored crabs in his town had to stay away from each other. They had separate oxygen fountains, separate classrooms, even separate grocery stores and fishtaurants! Martin, as a little crab, grew up like this. In the year 1963 Martin Luther King Crab's speech, "I have a dream," was delivered. "I have a dream," he said, "That one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" One day, in Memphis, Tennessee, King Crab died. He was only 39. A man who didn't like what he said, shot him. We'll always remember King as the man who stood up for what he believed in. Think about your friends, are they different colors or different animals? Thank Martin Luther King Crab Jr., for he let you be friends with your friends. 

 Darrin loved the book. He wanted to say a speech in front of the school. He got out a paper and wrote, "I have a dream that one day we'll have decent cafeteria food."
