In the original poem the Walrus and the Carpenter trick and eat a lot of hapless oysters. In Disney's 1951 animation the Walrus eats ALL of them while the Carpenter isn't looking. However, while his actions are morally questionable, there is no suggestion that the Walrus has actually committed a crime.
The Walrus and the Carpenter is set on a sandy beach.The sea was wet as wet could be,The sands were dry as dry.You could not see a cloud, becauseNo cloud was in the sky:No birds were flying overhead--There were no birds to fly.The Walrus and the CarpenterWere walking close at hand;They wept like anything to seeSuch quantities of sand:"If this were only cleared away,"They said, "it would be grand!""If seven maids with seven mopsSwept it for half a year.Do you suppose," the Walrus said,"That they could get it clear?""I doubt it," said the Carpenter,And shed a bitter tear."O Oysters, come and walk with us!"The Walrus did beseech."A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,Along the briny beach:We cannot do with more than four,To give a hand to each."
