A frog needed to get across the River Jordan and a scorpion offered to help. `No` said the frog, `if I`m stupid enough to climb on your back you`ll sting me`. `If I`m stupid enough to sting you your wieght will drag me under the water and I`ll drown`. replied the scorpion. So the frog got on the scorpion`s back and together they set off from the shore. After a short swim the scorpion stung the frog. `Why did you do that?` asked the dying frog as they started to sink below the water. The scorpion replied `This is the Middle East`.
