[素材选自One Story A Day Book 5] 选对朋友很重要 One day I ran across Johnny Baker on the street. He was a lot older than I was and known as the worst kid in the neighborhood. He came to me and said, "I'm going to the store. Want to come along or are you too chicken?" For some reasons, I agreed. When we left the store, he stole two chocolate bars and put one in my hand. At that moment, the owner of the store came out. Johnny ran off, but I stayed. I was in big trouble then. My grandfather told me a story about a frog and a scorpion that night. There was once a frog and a scorpion who both lived on an island. One day, there was a fire in the whole island. Just as the frog was about to jump into the water, the scorpion came to him and begged, "Please help me get off the island! I can't swim. Let me ride on your back." "No," said the frog. "You'll sting me!" "No!" the scorpion said. "Why would I do that? If I did that, we'd both die!" The frog thought about this and finally agreed. Once they were far from the shore, the scorpion stung the frog on the back. "Why did you do that?" he cried out. "Now we'll both die!" The scorpion replied, "Because I am a scorpion." When my grandfather finished telling the story, he looked at me and said, "One of the most important decisions you make in your life is who you call your friends." I nodded my head.
