Sting of the Scorpion

There was this little boy who was vacationing in a dessert or something. His parents would tell him to always wear shoes, and the boy understood why. He understood that there were dangers that could be prevented by wearing shoes. The little boy wanted to go on a little walk and instead of wearing shoes he wore flip flops. He was lazy and knew that he was doing wrong but didn’t really care because he’s a little kid. After a while he felt a prick of a thorn on his foot, as he looked down he saw a scorpion had stung him. He started freaking out and called for his parents. His parents started to drive him to the nearest hospital which was two hours away. Luckily the doctor man said that only infants and the malnourished would be severely affected by this type of scorpion. The boy learned a lesson, to listen to his parents and stuff. Also to choose the right.

I think this story was nice. I like how the boy didn’t die, that was pleasant. I think the lesson he learned was powerful though, because I bet he always tries to do the right after that experience. We all experience some type of misfortunate event that ultimately imprints a lesson about how we should do the right, not the wrong. I found his to be very extreme as he could’ve died, but nonetheless the lesson was there. You always should choose the right and not be lazy when it comes to situations where you know you might be stung if you choose the wrong.
