"The Sting of the Scorpion"

The sting of the scorpion is a personal story which tells about a young boy who gets stung by a scorpion. He lived in the desert with his parents and was told to always wear shoes when in the sand. One day while on a camping trip he wanted to explore around the desert, he was going to be only a few minutes so why bother putting on shoes. He decided that sandals would work just the same as a pair of shoes. While he was walking in the sand he felt a prick like from a bush on the arch of his foot. When he looked down he realized that it was not a bush but a scorpion. After yelling out for his parents they took him to the hospital. Luckily he was fine but he learned a valuable lesson that day. It was not to never wear sandals but to always listen to your parents and to do the right thing.
