And it would be terribly hard to eat an ice cream cone without squeezing it in two. But our strange friend needs his wrenches to hunt and defend himself. You wouldn't want these things? Well, you would if you were Mr. or Mrs. Lobster. You would probably think each other very beautiful. Mr. Lobster isn't like any of his other neighbors in the ocean. And he certainly isn't like his land -locked friends either. He's like ... well, nothing much except other lobsters. You would think it quite terrible to have noses and ears on your legs. But not Mr. Lobster. As he moves along the ocean floor, he picks up sounds and smells through the tiny hairs on his eight thin legs. Mr. Lobster enjoys eating but he's something of - cannibal.

The' lobster is often pic- tured as red, but he isn't usually red until he's cooked. Most lobsters are greenish black when they are alive. Ask your parent's what they like about the lobster and they'll tell you• his delicious taste. But when you really get "to know this odd fellow, you'll agree that he has many other qualities that make him a wonder of the worlcj. SAVE ENERGY and S Insulate U.F.
