The scorpion corresponds to B'nei Menashe.
"A scorpion wants to cross the River, but he can't swim. He goes to a frog, who can, and asks for a ride. The frog says, 'If I give you a ride on my back, you'll go and sting me!' The scorpion replies, 'It would not be in my interest to sting you. Since I will be on your back, we both would drown.' The frog thinks about this logic for awhile and accepts the deal. He takes the scorpion on his back, braves the waters, halfway over he feels a burning spear in his side, and realises the scorpion has stung him, after all, and as they both sink beneath the waves, the frog cries out, 'Why did you sting me, Mister Scorpion? For now, we both will drown!' The scorpion replies: 'I can't help It. It's in my nature.'" ~ The Crying Endame
