Would You Rather Be The Scorpion Or Fox In This Case If You Had To Be One?

A scorpion was walking along the bank of a river, wondering how to get to the other side Suddenly he saw a fox. He asked the fox to take him on his back across the river. The fox said no, if I do that you'll sting me, and I'll drown. The scorpion assured him, if I did that, we'd both drown. So the fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion climbed up on his back, and the fox began to swim. But halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him. As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said why did you do that? Now you'll drown too. I couldn't help it, said the scorpion. It's my nature.

the croc that got a free meal... with a hint of spicy too...

That would really suck! I have alligators & anything that lands on my pond is a free lunch.

I guess the scorpion because even if the fox dies he will still float and maybe the scorpion can wait until he floats close to rock to jump onto

[Static_In_The_Attic]

My thoughts exactly & I was thinking scorpions float too. However I’m sure a fish would get a free lunch too.

Yeah, you never know

The fox. Bite the sting off and get a tasty meal.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

That is one way to look at it. Wonder what fox tastes like?

[purplepoppy]

The meat gives off a very unpleasant smell. I wouldn't want to try it

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Isn’t the fox supposed to be a frog?

[Static_In_The_Attic]

In one of the stories yes & in the other story a fox.
