I was watching Brooklyn 99 last night and one of the characters talked about a story their parents had told them, about a frog and a scorpion, the scorpion wants the frog to carry it across a river, the frog says no, you'll sting me, the scorpion is no, I wont because we'd both drown in the river, so the frog takes him on his back and is crossing the river and the scorpion stings him and when the frog says why, the scorpion says its my nature and they both sink and drown.
Anyway, I dont really understand the point of the story, unless its something simple like "leopards dont change their spots", what do any of you think about it?
Also, is this like an allegorical tale for adults or is this a childrens story? What is the lesson you are trying to teach children with a story like that?
