The Boy Hunting Locusts
A BOY was hunting for locusts.
He had caught a goodly number,
when he saw a Scorpion, and mistaking him for a locust, reached
out his hand to take him.
The Scorpion, showing his sting, said:
If you had but touched me, my friend, you would have lost me, and
all your locusts too!"
