0:31:50 > 0:31:57.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18On the banks of a river sits a scorpion.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20This scorpion has got lost
0:32:20 > 0:32:23and she's separated from her family by a huge river.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Mama!
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Now, you may not know this but scorpions can't swim.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32So she can't cross it. She's stuck.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Ribbit.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36At that moment, a frog passes by.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Ribbit, ribbit.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Now, of course, frogs can swim, so she asks the frog for help.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46"Ho-ho-ho," says the frog. "I don't think so.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49"Scorpions and frogs are deadly enemies.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54"Scorpions sting frogs. When we're halfway across, you'll sting me."
0:32:54 > 0:32:59"Why would I do that?" says the scorpion. "It makes no sense.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03"If I sting you, I won't get across the river to my family."
0:33:03 > 0:33:07But the scorpion can see that the frog's still not sure.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11And so she says, "I promise I won't sting you."
0:33:11 > 0:33:14What do you think?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28CHILDREN CHATTER
0:33:30 > 0:33:35I think that the frog should carry the scorpion across the river
0:33:35 > 0:33:39because she's probably tired and exhausted from running around.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42When she gets to the other side of the river, she won't have
0:33:42 > 0:33:46time to sting the frog and then carry it all the way back home
0:33:46 > 0:33:48because she'll be so tired already.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Actually, I disagree.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Scorpions can't resist poisoning people or other animals
0:33:55 > 0:33:59because it's actually in their nature that they will sting or not sting.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Eventually, after a lot of pleading from the scorpion,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10the frog agrees to carry her across the river.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Oof! Now, what looks like a short distance to you is quite
0:34:14 > 0:34:17a long journey for a frog, especially when you've got
0:34:17 > 0:34:22someone your own size on your back and it's a scorpion. "Woo-hoo!"
0:34:22 > 0:34:28Halfway across the river, the frog feels a sharp pain on his head.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31"Aw!" The scorpion has stung him.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34"Why did you do that?" screams the frog.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37"Now we'll both drown."
0:34:37 > 0:34:42"I can't help it," says the scorpion. "Scorpions sting frogs.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44"It's in my nature."
0:34:44 > 0:34:50And with that, both the scorpion and the frog sink down into the river.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Blub-blub-blub! Ribbit!
0:35:00 > 0:35:04I think it was the frog's fault because if he didn't carry the
0:35:04 > 0:35:09scorpion across the river halfway, they both wouldn't have died.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I think it's the scorpion's fault
0:35:12 > 0:35:16because even though... If it's in your nature,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19or in your personality, to sting this person,
0:35:19 > 0:35:23to sting that animal, you can actually stop yourself.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26I think they were both responsible for it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29The scorpion's fault for breaking her promise
0:35:29 > 0:35:33and the frog's fault for knowing that she's going to sting him,
0:35:33 > 0:35:37but not being clever enough to not listen and swim away.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47When the scorpion said "It's in my nature",
0:35:47 > 0:35:53I think she meant that's what all her kind does, and that's what she
0:35:53 > 0:35:58grew up to do and what she's going to grow her little kids up to do.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04That's all very well for frogs and scorpions,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07but what does this have to do with humans?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Well, let's take Karim as an example.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15Karim's always been a bit, well, careless with other people's things.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Ah! Yeah!
0:36:21 > 0:36:22GLASS SMASHES
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Karim's best friend Sophie has a telescope he wants to borrow.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Hello.
0:36:27 > 0:36:33The thing is, Sophie's not sure. She knows Karim is careless.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36But he promises to be careful with it.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40So eventually, she decides to lend him the telescope.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45Karim heads off, carrying the telescope extra carefully.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Phew!
0:36:47 > 0:36:50He spends the evening, looking at the stars,
0:36:50 > 0:36:53making sure he's being extra careful.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59And the next day, on his way to return it to Sophie, he sees a group
0:36:59 > 0:37:03of little baby scorpions looking cute on the bank of the river.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12Uh-oh. Looks like Karim might not have been extra careful this time.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Hi.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19And that means he has broken his promise to Sophie.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22She's probably going to be rather upset.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34I know it's in his nature to be careless,
0:37:34 > 0:37:39but he has to remember that this is his best friend we're
0:37:39 > 0:37:43talking about, someone that he's known for a long time probably,
0:37:43 > 0:37:47and when he says I'm going to bring it back to you,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49he has to remember that in his head.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Imagine you're at a buffet
0:37:51 > 0:37:54and there's lots of food and you've had lots.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57You can stop yourself from eating lots of food.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00It's up to you what you want to do.
