In English
There was once a man whose only son was one day stung by a scorpion. The boy cried loudly with pain and the anguished father rushed for help to a doctor. He told the doctor, "Sir, my son is stung by a scorpion and is crying pitiably. Please give some pain-relieving medicine." The doctor gave an ointment and said, "Apply this on the spot where the scorpion stung him." The man ran back home and asked his son, "Where did the scorpion sting you?" Pointing to a corner of the room, the boy said, "Over there."
