Mr. Frog was swimming to and fro in his little creek, when he heard someone holler at him.
"HEY MR. FROG - COME HERE!" Mr. Scorpion yelled from the far bank.
Staying a safe distance from the scorpion, the frog asked "What do YOU want, Mr. Scorpion?"
"Well, I've got to get home to my wife and young'uns and I can't swim. Can you give me a ride to the other side?"
The frog laughed: "You are kidding right? Your kind kill everything you come across. I'm not going to get close enough to you to get stung."
The scorpion argued with Mr. Frog "Look. If I were to sting you, we'd both die, wouldn't we? All I want is to get home, and I promise you I won't do anything to harm you or put you in danger. Plus, I'll owe you a favor in the future, for helping me."
Mr. Frog thought, that sounds reasonable "O.K. - jump on my back." and he swam close to the far bank.
Mr. Scorpion jumped on Mr. Frogs back and away they went.
Half way across the creek, Mr. Scorpion swung his deadly tail up into the air and WHAM, drove it into Mr. Frog's back, paralyzing Mr. Frog instantly.
"YOU FOOL - YOU JUST KILLED US BOTH! YOU PROMISED I'D BE SAFE!"
As they both sank under the water, Mr. Scorpion said "Sorry - couldn't help it. After all, I AM a scorpion, aren't I." and they both died.
MA says they have a "new" idea to help us and help the game. I call scorpion.
great!
you are sooo right!
