Notes

1 A scorpion asked a frog to carry him across a wide river.

The frog objected: “You are going to sting me and I will die.”

The scorpion: “But if I sting you, you will sink and I will die too!”

Convinced by this reasoning, the frog accepts. In the middle of the river the scorpion stings him.

The frog: “But you stung me!”

The scorpion: “Well, yes.”

The frog: “But I am going to die.”

The scorpion: “Well, yes.”

The frog: “And you too.”

The scorpion: “Well, yes.”

The frog: “But you are a fool.”

The scorpion: “No, I am a scorpion.”
