    This story is a psyop. It was https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_Baskin , obviously.

    The fable of the frog and the scorpion.

    Do tell your version of it. I know this one as the one from the stork and the frog, i believe.

    A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a babbling stream. It's too treacherous to cross, so the scorpion nicely asks the frog to carry him across on its back. This makes the frog a little suspicious. It asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion says, “Because if I do, I will die too.” That sound reasoning relaxes the frog's nerves. So he allows the scorpion to climb aboard and they shove off across the flowing water. They get halfway across the stream and the scorpion stings the frog directly in the middle of his back. The frog feels the onset of the scorpion's poison and starts to sink. He manages one dying breath: "Why?!" And the scorpion replies: “It’s my nature…”

    Nice. Now you know me finally :). The one from the stork and the frog goes about the same only that the frog wins by not giving in or up.

    Will wins people and things. Not size or poison. Money stops winning people at approximately IQ 120. I'm really starting to like your persistence.

    The stork and the frog isn't in Aesop. Did you invent it?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen . I just read it. It's not easy to find. That's a given.

    Yeah. You gotta actually visit a library. And the archive in it. So tell me: How hard do search engines define your life ?

    Edit: There is only one library you can find this script at.

    So, this exists only at one library in the world, and you expect me to go there and read it.

    OK.

    No.

    Its been over 20 years since i read it. But you can guess the the size of impression it left in me because i still can remember it. I'm very scattered you should know.
