THE OLD MAN AND THE SCORPION

An old man saw a scorpion
drowning and decided to pull it
out from the water. He calmly
puts
his hand to reach the creature,
when he did, the scorpion stung
him...
With the effect of the pain, the old
man let go the creature and it fell
back into the water. The old man
realising that the scorpion was
drowning again, got back and
tried to rescue it but then again it
stung him. He let go it again.....
A young boy standing by
approached the old man and said;
"Excuse me sir, you are going to
hurt
yourself trying to save the evil,
vicious creature, why do you
insist?
Don't you realise that each time
you try
to help the scorpion it stings you?
The Man replied;
"The nature of the
scorpion is to sting and mine is to
help". It will not change in
helping the scorpion.
So the man thought for a while
and used a leaf from a nearby
tree and pulled the scorpion out
from
the water and saved it's life...
Then turning to the young boy,
he
said...
"Do not change your nature. If
someone hurts you, just take
precautions;
Some pursue happiness while
others create it...
Let your conscience be your
guide in
whatever you do...
When life presents you with a
hundred reasons to cry, show it
that you have a thousand and
more
reasons to smile....
More importantly, always be the
reason for that precious
SMILE

A WOMAN FELT A VICTIM OF BURUNDANGA DRUG

A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a lady who was
buying petrol at a filling station. He qgave her his "complimentary card".
She said "No", but after some persuasion, she accepted his card out of
kindness and got in her car.
The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman..
As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of
the station at the same time.
After driving a short distance, she started feeling dizzy and could not
catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that her hand
had a sweet smelling odour. This was the same hand she used to accept the
card from the gentleman at the Petrol station.
She then noticed the men were trailing her. Their car was immediately behind
her and she knew she had to do something at that moment. She drove into the
first turning on her right and it was a busy road. She began to honk her
horn repeatedly, non- stop and started shouting for help.
She stopped her car and continued horning and within a few minutes, her car
was surrounded by a crowd.
On seeing the situation, the men drove away, but the lady still felt bad for
several minutes. She was able to tell the crowd her husband's GSM phone
number and somebody in the crowd called him. He arrived, the scene and took
her to a high brow hospital for treatment. She was discharged after 48
hours.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously
injured her. This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by CRIMINALS
who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal, kill or take advantage
of women (RAPE).
This drug is 4times more dangerous than the date rape drug and it is
transferable on simple cards and papers.
So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time (when
you are alone) from STRANGERS - in the streets, markets, filling station etc
