He does not thrive in captivity, and incessantly wings his way back and forth, with slow, wavy flappings of his filmy appendages, until he wears himself out and dies unreconciled. In marked contrast with both cuttle-fish and squid is their cousin the octopus a creepy, crawly creature, like eight serpents in one at once the oddest and the most fascinating creature in the entire aquarium.
"Don't be such a fool," he said, putting his foot on the ear-wig. "You couldn't have made more noise if someone had been murdering you!" "I hate ear-wigs!" she replied, still shuddering. "I hate all crawly things. Oh-h-h!" And here was another aspect of her: her skill in doing things that required effort and thought. She handled a boat better than he could handle it.
"And the crooked old crone looked at the princess and laughed a curious, creepy, crawly, crooked laugh. "Then the old woman offered to the princess one of the ugly, dirt-colored pebbles that she had gathered. 'Take this, my dear, she croaked, 'and wear it, and you shall see that I am right that this is the jewel of happiness.
Joseph was very busy, and his admonishing voice was heard at times. "Here, Johnny, hammer in that peg. Now, old cups and saucers, stop that grinning and fetch me some water. None of your frogs and creepy crawly thing this time, my blonde beauty, but clean water, comprenny?" With these and similar lightsome turns of speech was Joseph in the habit of keeping his men up to the mark.
"He came scampering on deck just now, yelling blue murder, and trying to catch crawly things that weren't there. Guess he'd got jim-jams bad.

"He didn't come to the surface. Guess a crocodile chopped him."
"Ah, but when I sing Electra Thais the real me no namby-pamby Marguerite no pearls that's how I feel about Thais as if she were a great opal full of fire. Hair," flopping her head backward with a bounce of curls, "is hot it restricts. These curls they are all hot and crawly around my neck, holding me." "Poor Harry! You remember how he used to love to take you out walking to show off your curls?"
His walk to the factory lay for a short distance along a pretty little park where, when the weather was proper, squirrels and babies and numerous other smaller, crawly things were wont to mingle together in democratic unconcern. But to him, this morning, it was just so much pavement. He punched the time clock viciously as he passed through the office lobby and barely escaped collision with Mr.

"Why, eating live things, and horrid bugs, and crawly ants. You ought to be 'SHAMED of yourself!" "Goodness me!" returned the hen, in a puzzled tone; "how queer you are, Dorothy! Live things are much fresher and more wholesome than dead ones, and you humans eat all sorts of dead creatures." "We don't!" said Dorothy. "You do, indeed," answered Billina.
Checkers' only reply was to pull off his coat, and to sit down and begin to unfasten his shoes. A couple of June-bugs, attracted by the light, flew in at the window, and bumping around in their noisy, disagreeable way, gave Checkers an uncomfortable, crawly feeling.
