The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on
its back. The
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says,
"Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog
feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp
"Why?"

Replies the scorpion:
"Its my nature..."
