Write a paragraph identifying and explaining the theme present in this passage.
The theme present in the fable "The Scorpion and the Frog" is the idea of inherent nature or character. The fable highlights how certain beings may act according to their nature despite the potential consequences. In this case, the scorpion's instinct to sting overpowers any logical reasoning, leading to mutual destruction. The story serves as a cautionary tale about trusting someone or something that has shown their true nature, as their actions may be predictable based on that nature. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing and understanding one's own nature and limitations when interacting with others.
