The turtle and the scorpion

"Why did you sting me, Mr Scorpion?" said the turtle. "Not because I am a scorpion, Mr Turtle, but because you were a turtle," said the scorpion.

I love turtles. Who would I have to pick on if there were no turtles?

When I heard it there was a frog/toad instead of a turtle. I am also rather fond of turtles and already have a habit of killing scorpions I find in my home.

Who knows, maybe you're the turtle, and we're the scorpions.

Turtles like comfort, don't they?
