"Why in the world
do you walk sideways like that?" said a Mother Crab to
her son. "You should always walk straight forward with
your toes turned out."
"Show me how to
walk, mother dear," answered the little Crab obediently,
"I want to learn."
So the old Crab tried
and tried to walk straight forward. But she could walk sideways only, like her
son. And when she wanted to turn her toes out she tripped and
fell on her nose.
Alangkah baiknya jika kita terlebih dulu
memberikan contoh/teladan yang baik sebelum kita meminta orang lain untuk
bersikap dengan cara yang benar atau melakukan sesuatu dengan baik.
