The Aesop Scorpion and Frog Story

A scorpion wanted to cross a river. He met a frog on the bank. He asked for help: “Dear frog, could you please carry me on your back to the other shore?” “Why should I? “If we’re out on the water and you sting me, I’ll die,” the frog replied warily. “Why would I sting you? If I did that, we’d both perish as I cannot swim,” the scorpion replied. After thinking for a moment, the frog finally said, “You make a good point. Climb onto my back.” However, when they were swimming across, there was a sharp pain in the frog’s body and he yelped, “You’ve stung me! Now, we will both die!” “I know, and I am sorry. It is my nature—I am a scorpion; scorpions sting,”
