An old man saw a scorpion drowning and decided to pull it out of 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 left 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 help save the evil vicious creature, why do you insist? Don't you realize that each time you try to help the scorpion, it will sting you?" then the man replied," the nature of the scorpion is to sting and mine is to help. Stinging me will not make me to change my mind" 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 its life.
Moral Lesson:
Do not change your nature if someone hurt you. Just take precautions. Some pursue happiness while others create it. Let your conscience be guide in whatever you do.
NOTE:
When life present you with a thousand reason to cry, show it you have a million reason to smile. More importantly, always be the reason to the smile.
Am Leaving You With These:
1.Hate has four letters words,so does love;
2.Enemies have seven, so does friends;
3.Lying has five, so does Truth;
4.Hurt has four, so does Heal;
5.Negative has Eight, so does positive;
6.Failure has seven, so does success;
7.Under has five, so does above;
Is all these by coincidence????
