The ‘Scorpion’ and the ‘Frog’

Let’s decipher the known fable:

A politician asks a human to vote for it. The human hesitates, afraid of being stung.

“But,” says the politician, “if I sting you, we will both drown”.

“I see” says the human. “You have my vote.”

Soon after entering the position, the politician stings the human.

With his dying breath, the human cries: “Why did you do that? For now we both will die!”

The politician shrugs. “It is in my nature.”
