The story of “The Scorpion and the Frog” is an ancient fable that teaches the moral of not betraying trust. In the story, a scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog is hesitant because it is afraid that the scorpion will sting it, but the scorpion promises not to. However, once the frog is halfway across the river, the scorpion stings it, explaining that it is its nature to do so. The frog dies, and the scorpion drowns, demonstrating the futility of betraying trust.
This fable has been told for centuries and has been used to teach children about the importance of keeping their promises and not betraying the trust of others. It is also a reminder that even those who seem trustworthy may not be, and that it is important to be careful when dealing with people you do not know well.
