Once upon a time, a scorpion needed to cross a river. He couldn’t swim, so he asked a frog he found by the riverbank for a ride on his back. The frog was hesitant at first. “What if you sting me?” he asked. The scorpion reasoned, “If I sting you, we both would drown!” So, the frog agreed, thinking it made sense.
Halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the frog. As they both started sinking, the frog asked, “Why did you do that? Now we’ll both drown!” The scorpion replied, “I couldn’t help it. It’s in my nature.”
