The story of the sting by the scorpion by Elder Patrick Kearon was about him and his parents living in the dessert and his parents always telling him to wear his shoes because there were snakes, and scorpions. Then one day they were camping in the dessert and he decided to go for a walk and he remembered that his parents always told him to wear shoes and that day he thought that flip flops were shoes so he put them on and when to walk around and then he was walking and felt something sting him and it was a scorpion and it bite him. After it bite him he yelled and his parents came and they took him to the hospital when they were taking him he was in pain and they were far away from the hospital. Lastly, the doctor said it was not that bad and he learned his lesson that flip flops are not shoes and that if you choose the wrong you have consequences. He learned a lesson always do the right. what this means to me is to always do right and always do what your parents ask and respect them so you won't get stung.
