The scorpion promises not to be a scorpion for a few minutes while the frog gives him a ride. Scorpion breaks his promise and stings the frog anyway, killing both of them (frog by poisoning, scorpion by drowning). The moral of the story is the scorpion will always be a scorpion, even if it kills them both.

The scorpion needs a ride across the pond (ocean), the frog says, "No, you are a scorpion and I am a frog, you will sting me and I will die."

The scorpion says, "I would not sting you because I merely seek a way to move myself from place to place, please take me on this ride, freely across this lake. I would never hurt you, because then we will both suffer."

The frog, convinced, then agrees to let the scorpion climb on board as he begins to make his way across the pond.

A short way into their ride the scorpion stings the gullible frog who then says, "Surely you knew I would die, we would die! Now we will both drown now, why would you do that?", the scorpion responds, "Surely you knew I am a scorpion when you chose to give me a ride. That is my nature and now you will die."

Remember, everyone is a glowie on the internet and nothing is real.
