Description

“The Scorpion and the Frog” is a short moral story about trust and true nature. A scorpion asks a frog to carry him across a river. At first, the frog hesitates, fearing the scorpion might sting him. The scorpion convinces him by saying that if he stings, both of them will drown.

Trusting this logic, the frog agrees. However, midway across the river, the scorpion suddenly stings the frog. As they both begin to drown, the frog asks why he did it. The scorpion replies, “It is my nature.”

🎯 Moral of the Story

👉 Some individuals cannot change their true nature, even if it harms others — and themselves.

👉 Blind trust without understanding someone’s character can be dangerous.
