A L O H A !
Scorpion asked Froggie
for a ride across the stream
on his green back.
"You will sting me, I'm no fool."
Answered the Frog.
"Ah, but then we both
would drown!"
So it was agreed,
and they set off
across.
At the stream's deepest point
Scorpion stung.
"But now we both will drown!
Why? Why? "
Sputtered Froggie.
" It is just my nature
I suppose. "
" The fable illustrates the view
that the behaviour of some creatures,
or of some people,
is irrepressible,
no matter how
they are treated
and no matter what
the consequences."

You needn't be rude,
just be wise.
Don't ride with them,
or try to
change them.
Go courteously
abut your life.
And if it is
YOUR nature to help,
Just think that you
reduce
their guilt by one
by refusing
to be their victim.
Worry Averted.
