The Scorpion and the Frog…
A scorpion wants to cross a river, but he
can’t swim. Goes to the frog, who can, and asks for a ride.
Frog says,
‘If I give you a ride on my back, you’ll go and sting me.’ Scorpion
replies, ‘It would not be in my interest to sting you since as I’ll be
on your back, we both would drown.’ Frog thinks about this logic for a
while and accepts the deal.
Takes the scorpion on his back. Braves the
waters. Halfway over feels a burning spear in his side and realizes the
scorpion has stung him after all. And as they both sink beneath the
waves, the frog cries out, ‘Why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion, for now
we both will drown?’ Scorpion replies, ‘I can’t help it, it’s in my
nature.’
