The White Scorpion


As the garden swiftly gets flooded from the sky's sobs, a white scorpion is at risk to drown. The salty tears drown more land as time goes on. With the threat of extinction, the scorpion dares to pray for safety. But it may be the scorpion's fate to drown. Then a frog came around and offered to help. Here's the scorpion's chance. Telling a white lie, the white scorpion crawls onto the frog's back. Halfway through the river of tears, the scorpion strikes the frog in the back. The poison permeates through the frog's veins.
"Why?"
"Betrayal is my nature."
