Oh, Daddy, come and take him off! He's a terrible big one, and he's winkin' one of his claws at me! Come and take him off!
All right, Mun Bun. I'll be there in just a second. Hold him under water so he won't let go, and I'll get him for you.
Daddy Bunker, who had been reading the paper on the porch of Cousin Tom's bungalow at Seaview, hurried down to the little pier that was built out into Clam River. On the end of the pier stood a little boy, who was called Mun Bun, but whose real name was Munroe Ford Bunker. However, he was almost always called Mun Bun.
Come quick, Daddy, or he'll get away! cried Mun Bun, and he leaned a little way over the edge of the pier to look at something which was on the end of a line he held. The something was down under water.
Be careful, Mun Bun! Don't fall in! cried his father, who, having caught up a long-handled net, was now running down a little hill to the pier. Be careful! he repeated.
I will, answered the little boy, shaking his golden hair out of his blue eyes, as he tried to get a better view of what he had caught. Oh, but he's a big one, and he winks his claws at me!
Well, as long as the crab doesn't pinch you you'll be all right, said Daddy Bunker.
There! I meant to tell you before that Mun Bun was catching crabs, and not fish, as you might have supposed at first. He had a long string, with a piece of meat on the end, and he had been dangling this in the water of Clam River, from Cousin Tom's boat pier.
Then a big crab had come along and, catching hold of the chunk of meat in one claw, had tried to swim away with it to eat it in some hole on the bottom of the inlet.
