Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

My friend, this morning I'm sharing one of my favorite Aesops Fables, one of my favorite of Aesops

Fables of all time. Fun fact, I have a copy of Aesop's fables that I have self-published, it was found by an old

edition translated from the original Greek. Aesop was a Greek slave who lived 2,500 years ago. His lessons are so relevant today still, right? People don't change and you can check it out on Amazon.

The fable is called The Frog on the Scorpion. You may know it. If you do great you can hear it again from me. If not, oh story time. I love fables because they're so short, they pack a punch, we get the moral quickly.

So, and look, I'm not reading from anything here, I'm just citing this in the way that I share when I see people in real life.

One day a scorpion wanted to cross the river. Knowing that it's, of course, unable to swim,

it enlists the help of a frog. It says frog, do you mind please carrying me

across the river? The frog, knowing that the scorpion has a sting, says,

oh, I don't think I can do that,

because if you jump on my back, you'll be able to sting me.

The scorpion reasons with the frog and says,

But why would I do that?

If I come on your back and sting you, we'll both drown.

The frog, thinking this was reasonable, sounding reasonable,

proceeded to let the scorpion on his back and carry him across the river,

at which point the scorpion stung him.

As the frog began to die, he said to the scorpion,

Why did you do this?

And he responded, because I'm a scorpion.

O'SOP.

There is nothing like these fables that just really,
