ABSTRACT

One day a Scorpion went to a Snake, and said that she wanted such a poison that if she stung a Man he would die at once. But the Snake said " Oh ! Scorpion, I will not give it to you, you are very hot-tempered, and you would kill off Everybody." Then the Scorpion replied no, no, she would use it only now and then. So the Snake said "Very well, go now, come again to-morrow and I will give it to you "(1).
