Two tortoises once rode a cart drawn by a calf.
But how come they stepped down to make fun?
A scorpion came over from the roadside;
Weary to death, he begged them to give him a ride.
Since not to carry him would go against humanity,
They took him on—the cart sank down under the weight.
As though it was a finger-snap, indescribably short,
They displayed their kindness being therewith stung.
