city,all by myself.Gram and her friend Jim met me at the train station,and we drove to Grams big gray house.In her small beach town,most people walked or rode bicycles.I even saw horse carriages!Grams house had a colorful flower garden and a big front porch.She told me to pick the bedroom I wanted,so I picked the yellow room.It had a window that faced the ocean.Horseshoes Arent Just For Good Luck

to go to the beach.Gram stopped me.She said I couldnt go to the beach alone until I had learned the rules of the sea.We took off our shoes and walked to the beach together.Gram said I could walk along the beach between two rock jetties(JET-ees).The jetties were walls of rocks that helped to keep the beach sand from eroding(ih-RO-ding)away into the sea.Gram said not to go into the water unless she or Jim were with me.She told me about currents(KUR-ents).The currents were strong flows of water that could drag me far out into the ocean.I learned a lot.That night,moonlight streamed into my room.I went to sleep listening to the waves.Horseshoes Arent Just For Good Luck Level N78My Summer HomeIt was very quiet in Grams house,but I could hear the sound of the waves.I wanted to see them up close!I

as Gram called,“Remember the rules!”I nodded as I hurried out the back door.When I got down to the beach,I saw the sand was covered in brownish-gray round things.They had shells and pointed tails.Some of them were lying on their backs and wiggling.At breakfast,I asked Gram what those creatures on the beach were.She said they were horseshoe crabs,a type of arthropod(AR-throw-pod).She said the waves carry them onto the beach.I told Gram about the wiggling ones turned upside down.She said they use their tails to try to turn themselves back onto their legs.If they cant turn over,they get too hot and die.Horseshoes Arent Just For Good Luck Level N910Horseshoe CrabsI woke up with the sun shining on my face.I dressed quickly and ran downstairs as Gram called,“Remember the rules!”I nodded as I

N1112Gram told me that when the tide goes out,some crabs are left stranded on the beach.To stay cool,they try to dig into the wet sand.She said the female crabs lay green,jellylike eggs a few inches under the wet sand.One female horseshoe crab can lay eighty thousand eggs in one season!Gram said that within two weeks,the larvae(LAR-vee)that develop from the eggs wash out to the ocean.The new larvae dont have tails yet.Toward the end of summer,they molt,or shed their skin.Then they grow tails.After breakfast,we walked down to the beach.Gram turned over the upside-down crabs.She also put stranded ones back into the ocean.Horseshoes Arent Just For Good Luck Level N1112Gram told me that when the tide goes out,some crabs are left stranded on the beach.To stay cool,they try to dig into

turn over onto their backs and float on their shells like little boats.When they are hungry,they let themselves sink slowly to the bottom of the ocean.On the bottom,the crabs eat plants,small clams,worms,and other tiny sea animals.They grind food with their legs,so they have to be walking to chew their food!Scientists study horseshoe crabs to learn more about their nine eyes and nervous systems.Also,their blood can be used to test for some human diseases(diz-EEZ-es)and to test new drugs.Gram said horseshoe crabs have been around since dinosaurs roamed the Earth!RescuingGram gave me a job to do.Every morning I hurried to the beach to save as many crabs as I could.I would turn them over and toss them back into the ocean waves.Sometimes Id toss them from the end of the jetty and wave“good luck”to them.I also tried to chase birds away when I saw them eating the eggs.But Gram told me not to do that because the birds needed the eggs as food to survive.Horseshoes Arent Just For
