In a remote island lived a duck and a centipede.
The duck lived his way of antiquity and the centipede lived an evil way.
One day, flood water came rushing up and both of them knows that it is high time that they moved to higher ground.
The duck can wade in the water to higher ground. However, the centipede to no avail.
The centipede begs the duck to bring him along.
The duck declined to bring the centipede along claiming that "you are of evil character and will always be of evil"
The centipede says "if you bring me along and I sting you along the way, I will be killed as well"
Nevertheless, the duck was smart.
He said "ok! on the condition you must be my eye in the wilderness"
So, both the duck and the centipede moved from the flooding island towards their dreamland.
The centipede stays on the leg of the duck. He thought that "I am the light for the duck, therefore, I will be saved"
Along the way, the centipede felt that he need to perform some mischief and decided to stung the duck.
Knowing quite well that the centipede and his way of life, the duck immersed his leg deeper into the water and the centipede was drowned. So, the duck makes his enemy his footstool.
Moral of the story: See the ways of the evil, but not joint them for they love evil and will not be satified till they have done mischief and teach a wiseman so that he can be wiser and make his enemy his footstool.
Bless always,
Dr. Lion.
