Gab the crab lived in a lab. He liked to grab things with his claws. One day, he saw a cab outside. Gab wanted to go for a ride, so he tried to grab the keys. But the scientist saw him and said, "Oh no, you don't!" Gab felt sad, but then the scientist gave him a little toy cab to play with instead.
