scorpion lesson

Red. and not willing to change. the scorpion parades as an ant until you know what you knew too late. And yet to see a scorpion and know its a scorpion but state and even trick yourself to see an ant and not the poisonous creature you know it to be proves to be deadly. I just read a story about the scorpion that comes to a river it can not cross. Its high water and too strong of tide for him. A frog swims by and the scorpion pleads with him. He ask the frog to please let him ride on his back, to the other side of the river. The frog states he can not, for he knows the scorpion will sting him with his poisonous tail. The scorpion begs and pleads and states that he would never do such a thing. The frog considers this and then finally agrees to help the scorpion cross. Halfway across the river the scorpion strikes the frog and buries his deadly tail into the frogs back. As the frog takes his last breath, he asks the scorpion why he killed him, even though he was trying to help him and now he will surely drown as well. The scorpion's reply as he was sinking under was "It is my nature". I havent got this story out of my head. I replay it and replay it.
