- Abstract
- en_US Here is another creative demonstration of how to portray an Aesopic fable in contemporary terms. The story situates crocodile and scorpion on the edge of the river. Scorpion asks crocodile for help in crossing the river. Neither of them has friends, because each has always bitten those who are near. Crocodile agrees to take scorpion across the river, provided of course that the latter not bite him along the way. However, the scorpion cannot restrain himself and bites the crocodile. The latter lunges at the former. Both are heard to say "You promised not to bite me!" As they go down to death, both say "This is all your fault!"
