The
Old Man and the Scorpion
One
morning, after he had finished his meditation, the old man opened his eyes and
saw a scorpion floating helplessly in the water. As the scorpion was washed
closer to the tree, the old man quickly stretched himself out on one of the
long roots that branched out into the river and reached out to rescue the
drowning creature. As soon as he touched it, the scorpion stung him.
Instinctively the man withdrew his hand. A minute later, after he had regained
his balance, he stretched himself out again on the roots to save the scorpion.
This time the scorpion stung him so badly with its poisonous tail that his hand
became swollen and bloody and his face contorted with pain. At that moment, a
passerby saw the old man stretched out on the roots struggling with the
scorpion and shouted: "Hey, stupid old man, what's wrong with you? Only a
fool would risk his life for the sake of an ugly, evil creature. Don't you know
you could kill yourself trying to save that ungrateful scorpion?" The old
man turned his head. Looking into the stranger's eyes he said calmly, "My
friend, just because it is the scorpion's nature to sting, that does not change
my nature to save."
