The Turtle and the Hermit Crabs.
A sea turtle, while swimming through the deep, came upon two hermit crabs who were having a disagreement.
“Hello crabs,” said the turtle, “What do you do?”
“Oh hello turtle,” replied one crab, “the two of us are arguing over who should occupy a new shell we have found.”
“Amazing!” said the turtle, “that you can choose a better shell when it comes along, while I am stuck in this one.”
“I suppose it would be amazing, ” said the crab, “were it not for all the other crabs. Whereas your shell comes at birth, we crabs must fight and scavenge, search and bicker, for a shell of our own.”
Conflict is the currency of choice.
