A turtle and a scorpion came upon a river both wanting to get across. The scorpion asked 'take me across on your back' the turtle replied ' no - you are a scorpion and will sting me and we will both drown'. the scorpion replied ' no i won't sting you' so the turtle took the scorpion on his back and just before they reached the other side the scorpion stung the turtle and they began to drown...the turtle asked 'why did you sting me when you said you wouldn't' and the scorpion replied ' you knew i was a scorpion - it is my nature' and they both drowned.
