Kermit the Hermit

Kermit the Hermit - .billpeet.net
In Monterey Bay There's a jumble of rock

Stacked up like a castle across from a dock.

The king of this castle, an old crab called Kermit,

Lived all by himself in a cave like a hermit.

Kermit the Hermit - Wkp
One day, when Kermit attempts to gain another unnecessary thing, he is almost buried by a dog, but is saved by a poor boy. Kermit is grateful and wants to thank the boy, but cannot think of a way to do so until he finds a chest of gold. As he stores the gold pieces in his cave, he slowly gives up one thing at a time, until he has all the gold and no more possessions in his cave. With the help of the pelican, Kermit drops coins down the boy's chimney. The boy's family becomes rich and Kermit learns the value of sharing.
