one day these inseparable companions, finding themselves obliged to change their habitation, traveled together; but in their meeting with a large and deep river, the scorpion making a stop, said to the tortoise:
 
"my dear friend, you are well provided for what we see before us, but how shall i get over this water?"
 
"never trouble yourself, my dear friend, for that, " replied the tortoise, "i will carry you upon my back secure from all danger."
 
on this, the scorpion, without 3, got upon the back of the tortoise, who immediately took water and began to swim. but he had hardly got half way across the river, when he heard a terrible 4 upon his back, which made him ask the scorpion what he was doing.
