"The Scorpion"


"Hellooo Mr. Frog!" called the scorpion across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?" 

"Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the frog hesitantly. 

"Because," the scorpion replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!"

 Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back.

 "You fool!" croaked the frog, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"

 The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back. 

"I could not help myself. It is my nature."
