"An old man saw a scorpion drowning and decided to pull it out from the
water. He calmly extended his hand to reach the creature. When he
did, the scorpion stung him. With the effect of the pain, the old man
let go the creature and it fell back into the water. The man realizing
that the scorpion was drowning again, got back and tried to rescue it
but then again it stung him. He let go of it again.
A young boy standing by, approached the old man and said, "Excuse me Sir, you are going to hurt yourself trying to save the evil-vicious creature, why do you insist? Don't you realize that each time you try to help the scorpion, it stings you?"
The man replied, "The nature of the scorpion is to sting and mine is to help. My nature will not change in helping the scorpion."
So the man thought for a while and used a leaf from a nearby tree and pulled the scorpion out from the water and saved it's life.
