The master and the scorpion
An Asian master who was watching a scorpion drowning, decided to take it out from the water. But when he did, the scorpion stung him.
From the effect of the pain, the master dropped the animal, which again fell in the water drowning. The master tried to get it out newly, and the animal stung him again.
Someone who has observed everything, approached the master and said:
'Excuse me, but you are stubborn! Don't you understand that whenever you'll attempt to pull it out from the water, it will sting you?'
The master replied:
-The nature of the scorpion is to sting, and this will not change mine which is to help.
And then, with the help of a leaf, the master drew the animal from the water and saved its life.
Do not change your nature if someone hurts you;just take precautions.
