Summary
Saying: a hermit crab is better than having no husband.
Two women married two brothers, and one noticed that the other was stealing her flour. She got some hermit crabs and put them in the flour-barrel, where they nipped the other one's fingers when she went to steal the flour, making her scream. Then the first one said, "A hermit crab is better than having no man about the house."
