The story of the scorpion and the frog
Once
upon a time a scorpion wanted to cross a brook. On the bank he saw a frog and
asked if the frog would give him a ride to the other side.
"Oh
no," says the frog, "If I carry you on my back you will sting
me."
"But
why would I sting you when we would both surely perish," replied the
scorpion.
The frog eventually conceded that the scorpion had a point, and agreed
to the request.
Half way across, the scorpion stung the frog, and they both
began to drown.
"But why did you break your word and sting me, knowing it
would be certain death for us both?" cried the frog.
"Because
it is in my nature." said the scorpion.
