mmxgn@0: a scorpion befriended a ladybug who became a loyal companion to him
mmxgn@0: a time came when she struggled to cross a challenging and dangerous river and so the scorpion offered to take her to the other side on his back
mmxgn@0: he had come to care for her and promised he would never harm her
mmxgn@0: but safely across the river he allowed his tail to dip upon her with its venomous sting
mmxgn@0: as she lay in greatest pain she said
mmxgn@0: but you promised
mmxgn@0: why
mmxgn@0: he shrugged and said sadly
mmxgn@0: because it is my nature
mmxgn@0: regardless of our wishes or even our intent it is to our nature alone that we will be faithful
