The eldest oyster chose not to walk with the walrus and the Carpenter because he was wise and cautious, recognizing the potential danger in their seemingly inviting offer. He understood that their intentions might not be genuine and that the excursion could lead to harm. His decision reflects a sense of prudence and an instinct for self-preservation in a world where appearances can be deceiving.
