Scorpion

When I was very young I heard a story of a princess She was someone That enjoyed pain of others She was beautiful and powerful She had many knights Whishing her hand in marriage But she did not care for any of them Her expression was cold as stone And her heart did not have a drop of love In addition she enjoyed hurting people Animals and games of bloody spectacles She decided that only man she would marry Would be the one who won a tournament Tournament in which knights would fight As the tournament began She calmly watched as knights Tore each other to pieces All for her amusement Yet still She had neither pity nor love For any of them One of the warriors came from the east He was very handsome He fought very bravely Like a lion But his expression was such That even knights defeated by him held no grudge The princess was amazed by his performance And she actually started to care for him When he won the tournament She went down the tower with biting heart And her cold expression was gone She was ready to give him her hand in marriage But to her surprise He did not want her Because he knew what kind of person She was This is how the story ends Knight returned home with his honor And princes who was antagonist In this story was left with noting However in real life things go little different For example Most likely winner of the tournament Would take the princesses hand in marriage Because she was very rich And if he didn’t She would have had him killed In real life when someone goes out on a limb They usually end up one who is hurt Makers of Concord supersonic plane for example Were unable to use their jet Because of technical problems As well as financial And they were the lucky ones Still I admire the knight Although speaking from my own experience It is very difficult to go out on a limb And I don’t have a lion like will and courage But to those who would try to punish me I will be like a scorpion Small and seemingly week But that will sting like hot knife if someone tries to step on it
