The Sting of The Scorpion

The Sting of the Scorpion-Elder Patrick Kearon

The sting of the scorpion is about a little boy who was out on the desert on a camping trip with his parents. He was told before to always put on his shoes but one day he decided to disobey. The little boy was to lazy and thought of sandals as shoes. He also thought that nothing could happen to him because he was going for a little walk. As he was walking he felt a pain on his foot. He looked down and saw a scorpion. The pain kept rising up his he grabbed his foot to try to stop the pain from rising. As he was feeling the pain he was screaming. His parents hear his screaming from a distance and rushed to him. They packed up everything and rushed to the nearest hospital which was 2 hours away. All the little boy could feel was the pain and he felt as if he were dying. The doctor told them it was no big deal as only a infant could be affected by that type of scorpion. The doctor put anastim  just so he wouldn’t feel the pain. But the from that day on the little boy knew he should have put his shoes.
