"The scorpion and the bullfrog were on their way home when both came to the edge of a raging river.The scorpion couldn't swim,but the bullfrog was a powerfull swimmer.The scorpion said:Let me climb on your back and you can swim across the river.The bullfrog replied,You must think i'm stupid:if i let you ride on my back,you will sting me and i will die.
Don't be silly,said the scorpion,If i sting you,we'll both drown.The bullfrog thought about it for a moment and then replied,yes,of course,i see your point.Ok,you can ride on my back.
So the scorpion hopped on the frog's back and the bullfrog started to swim across the flooded river.But as the bullfrog reached the middle,the scorpion lashed out with it's poisonous tail.
The frog cried out,Why,why,why now?!Now we'll both drown.
Why?,said the scorpion as it was swept away to it's death.
"Because that's just the way I am."
