Video - The Scorpion and the Frog: Nature's Truth
Once, a scorpion wanted to cross a river but couldn't do it alone. It met a frog and asked it to carry it across the river. The frog was skeptical and asked, "If I carry you, will you promise not to sting me?" The scorpion replied, "No, if I sting you, we will both die." Despite its doubts, the frog agreed to carry the scorpion. But in the middle of the river, the scorpion couldn’t resist its nature and stung the frog. As they were both sinking, the frog asked, "Why did you do that?" The scorpion replied, "I couldn’t help it; it’s in my nature." The story teaches us that a person's true nature is difficult to change, even with promises of good behavior. Trust should be given cautiously, and sometimes it is necessary to protect oneself from those who may cause harm, despite their seemingly trustworthy appearance.
