Once upon a time, in an undersea kingdom, a fish princess fell in love with a crab commoner.
The king found out about it and forbade his daughter from ever seeing a "side walking commoner' ever again.
Devastated, the princess went to see the crab and told him of her father's decision, "he said I can't see you again, and that he will never let me be seen with someone who walks sideways!"
The crab was heartbroken and scuttled off, sideways, of course.
That night there was a royal ball at the palace, attended not only by the fish-king and fish-princess, but also by all of the noble fish of the kingdom.
At the height of the celebration, the ball-room doors crashed open, and there, at the top of the stairs, stood the crab-commoner.
The music stopped.
Silence fell across the ballroom, except for a few whispers from some who had heard rumours of the affair of the princess and a crab.
The crab took a faltering step down the red carpet, walking forward
There was a gasp from the watching fish.
The crab took another forward step. Then another, making his way along the carpet, until he stood before the throne and the astonished king and excited princess.
Looking up at the king, the crab slurred...
