The crane and the scorpion...

An old tale my grandma told me once...eh...

There once was a scorpion who wanted to go across the great lake,

He went up to a crane and asked 'Will you fly me across the lake?'

The crane knew better 'No, you'll sting me went you get on my back' She said,

'No I won't, because if I do then I die too,' The scorpion said,

So the crane allowed the scorpion on her back and flew across the lake,

Half way across the lake, the scorpion stung the crane,

'Ow, why'd you do that?' The crane asked as she was sinking,

'I couldn't help it, its me nature.' The scorpion replied as they both fell into the lake.
