Why you almost never complete a sentence properly?
Mr Kifeas
In the future I will try and make sure that I explain myself fully to you.
You forgot to tell us the jock of the scorpion and the camel the other day.
Mr Kifeas
I believe it's one of Aesop's Fables ( But I could be wrong)
One day a scorpion came to a fast flowing river that he couldn't cross.
Nearby was a camel and so he asked the camel to carry him across the river.
The camel refused and told the scorpion that he , the scorpion, would sting the camel half way across and that they would both die.
The scorpion said no he wouldn't do such a thing BECAUSE they would both die.
So after more discussion the camel agrees and half way across the scorpion stings him.
Why? asks the smitten camel
It's in my nature replied the scorpion.
