Shooting stars

Do shooting stars and crabs have a racket going? I was in Goa recently, and was sitting on the beach one night with my friend, trying to catch a shooting star. It was all very serene and beautiful, and I was being lulled into a sense of absolute peace. Just about then, this rather large crab decided to burrow out to the surface from right underneath me. Believe me, it is not a very comforting thought when a crab tries to get out from under you, and you are wearing minimalist clothing. At the very least, you feel rather vulnerable. The first indication I had that anything was amiss, was a big crab nudging my backside with its claws. "Would you kindly move your butt out of my way?" I am a brave enough man, but I draw the line at my bottom coming in contact with the business end of a crab's claws. My jungle yell understandably brought proceedings to an early end.
