Like Home Touch.

Tired and dusty, a party were returning by rail from a holiday trip. Simkins, a little bald man, seated hlmdelf to read, but dropped off to sleep. On the rack was a ferocious crab in a bucket, and when Simkins went to sleep the crab woke up, and finding things dull in the bucket, started exploring. By careful investigation Mr. Crab reached the edge of the rack. Down it fell, alighting on Simkin’s shoulder, where it grabbed the man’s ear to study itself. The passengers held their breath and waited for developments, but Simkins only shook his head and said: “Leggo, Sarah! I tell you I’ve been at the office all the evening!”
