the frog and the scorpion

Once, a scorpion approached a frog that was on the edge of a river.

The scorpion came to make a request:

"Sapinho, could you carry me to the other side of this wide river?"

The frog replied: “Only if I were a fool! You're going to sting me, I'm paralyzed and I'm going to sink.”

Said the scorpion: “This is ridiculous! If I stung him, we would both sink."

Trusting the scorpion's logic, the frog nodded and carried the scorpion on its back as it swam across the river.

In the middle of the river, the scorpion dug its stinger into the frog.

Struck by the poison, and already beginning to sink, the frog turned to the scorpion and asked, “Why? Because?"

And the scorpion replied, "Because I'm a scorpion and that's my nature." "And I can't change it."
