The Boy Hunting Locusts

A boy was catching locusts by the wall.

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!"

Moral 

Making decisions on an impulse will cost dearly.
