00:00And now I'm going to tell you about a scorpion.
00:04This scorpion wanted to cross a river.
00:09So he asked the frog to carry him.
00:11No, said the frog, no, thank you.
00:14If I let you on my back, you may sting me.
00:16And the sting of a scorpion is death.
00:19Now, whereas the scorpion is the logic of death,
00:21for scorpions always try to be logical.
00:23If I sting you, you will die.
00:25I will drown.
00:27So the frog was convinced and allowed the scorpion on his back.
00:29But just in the middle of the river, he felt a terrible pain
00:33and realized that, after all, the scorpion had stung him.
00:36Logic, cried the dying frog
00:39as he started underbearing the scorpion down with him.
00:42There is no logic in this.
00:45I know, said the scorpion, but I can't help it.
00:48It's my character.
