The Sting of the Scorpion

Reflection:

Whether it can be regarded as a simply mishap, or as a life lesson, using "The Sting of the Scorpion" as reference to choosing the right, is taking a small event and blowing it completely out of proportion. Can one expect, that at that tender age of that young boy, that he can differentiate good and bad? What he did, I don't consider even remotely bad, just stupidity in general, but don't we all suffer from ignorance and insipidity at a young age?

This was a more or less decent example (without all the faults listed above) of doing what you know is common sense or being dumb. He chose to be dumb and faced the consequences, there's nothing wrong with that. Just like in real life, if you make dumb choices be prepared to face the repercussions of your actions. Taking full responsibility for your mistakes is (what I think, at least) the moral of the story here.
