The Sting of the Scorpion

The Sting of the Scorpion

-Elder Patrick Kearon

What happens in this story is about a boy and his family. They are in the desert, and they are camping there to explore. One thing that he said that his parents always told him was to put on shoes, and to not put sandals or be bare foot when walking. What then happened was that he wants to go explore, and he is to lazy to put on shoes, so what he does is he puts on sandals. He had ignored what his parents told him, and did not listen to them. What happened as he started walking was he felt something sting him. It was very painful as he described it. It turned out to be a scorpion bite. He called out for his parents, and then they took him to the hospital where he would be treated. What he did was wrong, because he did not pay attention to his parents. He did not choose the right and listened to them, instead he did the opposite of what they told him to do. If he would have payed attention to them, and done what they said, then that would have not happened. He should have done the right thing, and listened to them. Instead he decided that he would wear sandals, which his parents told him not to. They had told him to wear shoes, but he did not pay attention. What he learned was that he should have payed attention to his parents. If he would have listened to them, this would have not happened. This is why it is always important to make sure that you do the right thing.
