How can such a helpless creature procure food?
A. Nature uniformly redoubles her exertions in favour of the weak. A kind of crab -fish, naked like the Hermit, and very quick-sighted, is the constant companion of the Pinna. They live and lodge together in the same shell. When the Pinna has occasion to eat, it expands its valves, and sends out its faithful purveyor to procure food. If any foe approaches, the Crab returns with the utmost speed to his blind hostess, who receives him into her mansio...n, and thus escapes the rage of the enemy. When, on the contrary, the Crab loads himself with booty, he makes a gentle noise at the shell, which is then opened, and the two friends feast together on the fruits of his industry.
