Moral Lesson

An old man saw a scorpion drowning and
decided to pull it out from the water. He
calmly extended his hand to reach the
creature. When he did, the scorpion
stung him.
With the effect of the pain, the old man let go the creature and it fell back into
the water. The man realizing that the
scorpion was drowning again, got back
and tried to rescue it but then again it
stung him. He let go of it again.
A young boy standing by, approached the old man and said, “Excuse me Sir, you
are going to hurt yourself trying to save
the evil-vicious creature, why do you
insist?
Don’t you realize that each time you try to
help the scorpion, it stings you?” The man replied, “The nature of the
scorpion is to sting and mine is to help.
My nature will not change in helping the
scorpion.”
So the man thought for a while and used
a leaf

from a nearby tree and pulled the scorpion out from the water and saved its
life.
MORAL LESSON: Do not change your
nature. If someone hurts you, just take
precautions. Some pursue happiness
while others create it. Let your conscience be your guide in whatever
you do.
