NAME:

In the desert

Eureka, the scorpion of the Sahara, considers himself superior to all others. These are full of his great air and this mania he has for thinking he knows everything about everything.
So Eureka doesn't have many friends. Anyway, he's not interested in them; he prefers the company of men, as he thinks they understand his language. Men, however, are rare in the great desert, and flee when they see Eureka.

However, one night a man approaches him and, with a lively and sure gesture, picks up the scorpion with tweezers and throws it into a dark box. A few days later, Eureca, in a large transparent aquarium, became a zoo attraction.
She now lives among men, but she thinks with nostalgia at the time when she lived happily in the middle of the desert...
