I heart radio Fox Sports Radio FS1 Alex Curry is joining me today

So Alex I am gonna tell a fable today. Okay, what's it about a fable?

It started back in Russia. This is Russian school children were told this years ago

Early 20th century it's the story about the frog and the scorpion and you've probably heard this but I'm gonna tell this story

It's gonna last about two minutes and

And there's a frog and a scorpion on the side of a river and the scorpion wants to go to the other side of the river but a scorpion can't swim

So the scorpion says to the frog

Will you take me over to the other side of

The river and the frog says to the scorpion

Well, you will sting me scorpions sting other insects and animals and the scorpion goes no, no, no, that will all would be the sense of that

If I sting you in the middle of the river we would we would both die and

So the frog listens to the scorpion and says

Well, that's reasonable that's sensible

So I want to you jump on my back scorpion and I will take you across a river and

Halfway across the river

the scorpion

Stabs and stings the frog

And the frog starts to die and the frog turns around and goes why did you stab me and the scorpion says it's who I am
