Scorpion wants to cross a river, but he

can't swim. Goes to the frog, who can,

and asks for a ride. Frog says, "If I

give you a ride on my back, you'll go and

sting me." Scorpion replies, "It would

not be in my interest to sting you since

as I'll be on your back we both would

drown." Frog thinks about this logic for

a while and accepts the deal. Takes the

scorpion on his back. Braves the waters.

Halfway over feels a burning spear in his

side and realizes the scorpion has stung

him after all. And as they both sink

beneath the waves the frog cries out,

"Why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion, for

now we both will drown?" Scorpion

replies, "I can't help it, it's in my

nature."

Yeah?



FERGUS

I thought as a child. But when I became a

man I put away childish things...



JODY

What does that mean?
