Adventures of Blue Darling: Blue Darling Rescues Curry

In a small tropical village in a tropical climate, there lived a little girl named Blue Darling. The village was a small one which was very near to the east coast of island called Crystal Town. Many people who lived in that village are a happy lot. They are a peaceful group of people and they enjoy everything natural about their island. Blue Darling stays with her parents. Her father is a fisherman and her mother is an artist. They lived modestly and was very content with their lives. Blue Darling was 5 years old when she first rode her bicycle. now at 8 years old, she rides her bicycle as though the bicycle was part of her body. She never fails to be recognized in the village as the one who has knowledge of the world. Her father made that possible by investing in a set of encyclopedia.

Blue Darling parents was busy that morning when she decided to go out to build sandcastles. Its one of her favourite past-times. She strolled down the beach and surveyed the area for a suitable location and suitable sand. There was a certain stench coming from a nearby river. Blue Darling didn't understand why was there a stench in the first place.

She decided to explore the area especially going towards the direction of the stench. As she went on, she discovered something remarkable. There it was a huge giant crab as big as a boulder and with pincers so big that it could crush a car with it. The crab was in pain for some reason. Blue Darling looked carefully and noticed one of its pincers was pierced by a harpoon. When she saw that weapon lodged inside the pincers, she got furious. She went closer towards the giant crab, and tried to pull it it out. She heaved and heaved and finally she pulled it out so hard, she tumbled behind.

'Thank you' said the Crab

'You are welcome Mr....' Blue Darling asked

'Call me Curry' the shining red crab replied with a smile.

'you can call me Blue Darling' replied Blue

'you just saved my life' Curry said

'there was a harpoon lodged inside the pincers' Blue added

'this is caused by poachers and irresponsible hunters.' Curry said

'They are really mean to do this to you.' Blue said

'what can I do Blue, I am just a crab. I am dinner to many of them. When they saw me, all they could think of is dinner. especially a strange looking man in black shirt and a black cap. the boat was also in black. It dumped things into the water which at first tasted sweet to me but later it became very sour and many of my friends died from it. I advised all my people not to approach that same area again.' Curry explained

'don't worry Curry, I will help you. From now on we are friends.' Blue assured

'Thank you Blue Darling. Because you were kind, and helpful, we will surely be friends and I will also help when you need me. Here, pick up the large horn shell on my back and call on me whenever you are in trouble.' Curry advised

'I will remember this. Thank you Curry. Now you better go home and not show yourself otherwise you may get attacked again. I will investigate the matter further. see you later.'

Curry the crab, walked sideways as how crabs do, back into the sea. After he was safely out of sight, Blue Darling took out her notebook and wrote down all the things she has heard from Curry. She then, quickly left the beach and headed straight for her home in Crystal Town.
