Patrick's Story

"The Sting of the Scorpion"

Living in the Arabian Desert provides many dangers for humans. From snakes, bee's, and scorpions, there is plenty to take precaution about in the Arabian Desert. One of the most simplest ways of protecting yourself is just by wearing a pair of shoes, in order to protect your feet from any snake bites, scorpion stings, or any other stings/bites from other insects and so forth. But even knowing the basics to protecting yourself wont save you, unless you choose to follow them. Young Patrick, a young boy, who lived in the Arabian Desert, with his family, soon enough learned why we must follow basic principles in life. Every now and then, Patrick's parents always urged young Patrick to always wear a pair of shoes to protect himself from the many dangers, hidden in the Arabian Desert. But one day, in the afternoon, young Patrick decided to wander of and take a small walk in the desert, when he had an option of either wearing shoes or flip-flops. He knew the best choice or the choice his parents would want him to make.... was to wear shoes. But he was lazy, and figured,"Hey, it's gonna be a short walk, what could possibly happen." So young Patrick decides to wear flip-flops, as he walked around the desert. He felt the cold, sand through his feet, when suddenly young Patrick felt a little prick near his ankle, and at first he thought it was a thorn, but as he looked down, it was no other than a scorpion! Patrick felt intense pain as he screamed for help from his parents. His parents were able to hear him as they immediately hurried to get in a car, in order to take him to a nearby hospital which was 2 hours away. Young Patrick felt like he was dying... when he got to the hospital... he got a vaccine which cured the pain. Young Patrick learned a lesson that day, which is we should always choose to do right, regardless of the situation because if it were a snake that bit him...... things could've not turned out as fortunate as they did.
