And the other did not see that he was trying to outwit him, and agreed. So the crab caught hold of his neck with his claws as securely as with a pair of blacksmith's pincers, and called out, "Off with you, now!" And the crane took him and showed him the pond, and then turned off towards the Varana-tree.♥

Answer 2

As the crane flew over the deserted area, the crab immediately saw the skeletons of many fishes and pond creatures lying around.The crab was very clever- sensing danger, he came up with a quick plan.

Before the crane could set him down on the ground and start to devour him, he grabbed the crane’s neck with his strong claws and killed him instantly.
