Lobster

A lobster is a type of marine crustacean that belongs to the family Nephropidae.
It has a hard exoskeleton that protects its body and a muscular tail that helps it swim.
It has five pairs of legs, three of which have claws for catching and crushing food.
The first pair of claws are usually much bigger than the others and can be used for defense.
Lobsters are omnivorous and eat fish, mollusks, seaweed, and other bottom-dwelling animals.
They have compound eyes on stalks, but they rely more on their antennae and antennules to sense their environment.
They are nocturnal and hide in crevices or burrows during the day.
Lobsters are highly valued as seafood and are harvested in many parts of the world.

The lobster is a crustacean with claws
It lives in the ocean, following nature's laws
It likes to hide in crevices and caves
Or burrow in the sand, avoiding waves

It can be found on many different coasts
But mostly in the north, where it can boast
Of being a delicious seafood dish
That humans like to catch and eat with relish

Some lobsters live in shallow water near the shore
Others dwell in deeper depths, where they explore
The rocky, sandy, or muddy ocean floor
They are benthic animals, that's for sure

They can adapt to various conditions
But they prefer some specific ones
Like cold water and moderate salinity
That's where they thrive and show their ability

Long time ago, in the vibrant underwater kingdom of Coral Cove, where the sun's rays danced through the crystal-clear waters and schools of fish performed their daily ballet, lived a lobster named Bella. Bella was no ordinary lobster; she was the regal guardian of the grand Coral Palace, known for her impeccable taste in the finest seaweed and, of course, her insatiable love for sticks.

Bella's owner, Lark, was a kind-hearted veterinary assistant who had a knack for healing creatures of all kinds. Though she was always busy tending to sea urchins and squids, she never missed a chance to indulge Bella's eccentricities. Bella's most peculiar fascination was with sticks. These weren't just any sticks but exquisitely polished driftwood that she collected from the deepest, most secret parts of the ocean.

One sunny morning, Bella approached Lark with an urgent clatter of her claws. "Lark, my dearest friend, it has come to my attention that the grandest stick of them all - the famed Golden Driftwood - is up for auction today!" Bella exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Lark raised an eyebrow. "The Golden Driftwood? Isn't that the one that's been lost for centuries? How do you know it's real?"

Bella puffed out her chest proudly. "I have impeccable sources in the clam community. They say it's magnificent, and I simply must have it for my collection!"

Lark shook her head with a smile. "I suppose it's worth a look. But remember, Bella, the Golden Driftwood is bound to be extremely expensive. Do you have a plan?"

Bella's claws clicked together thoughtfully. "Well, I thought I might offer a trade. I have a collection of rare sea pearls that should be quite valuable."

The auction began as the grand Coral Palace opened its doors. Creatures of all shapes and sizes gathered, their eyes shimmering with anticipation. Bella and Lark found their seats, and soon, the Golden Driftwood was unveiled. It glowed with a warm, magical light, and the crowd gasped in awe.

Bidding started, and the numbers soared higher and higher. Bella's claws fidgeted with nervous excitement. She glanced at Lark, who was watching the bids with equal parts concern and admiration.

When the bidding reached a point where Bella's pearls alone might not suffice, she whispered to Lark, "I need a bit more help. Can you lend me a hand - or a fin - in this?"

With a nod, Lark set to work. She approached the auctioneer, a wise old turtle named Terence, and made a proposal. "What if we added a special bonus to Bella's bid? We can include a month of free veterinary care for the aquatic creatures of Coral Cove."

Terence's eyes twinkled with interest. "A generous offer indeed! But can you guarantee that?"

Lark grinned. "I assure you, Bella and I will make sure every creature gets the best care possible."

The crowd buzzed with approval. Terence, moved by the proposal, accepted the bid. Bella's claws clapped in joy, and she couldn't wait to bring the Golden Driftwood home.

The auction concluded, and Bella and Lark triumphantly returned to the Coral Palace with the Golden Driftwood in tow. Bella placed the driftwood in a special alcove of her collection, where it shone like a beacon of underwater magic.

As promised, Lark set up a free veterinary clinic for the aquatic creatures of Coral Cove, and the community thrived under the care they received. Bella often admired her Golden Driftwood, not just for its beauty but for the adventure and camaraderie that brought it to her.

And so, in the heart of Coral Cove, Bella and Lark continued their joyous lives, proving that the most precious treasures are those that bring happiness to all.
