"Are you preparing your scorpion harness?" asked the scorpion to the frog, "we're now rating frogs by their capacity to build scorpion harnesses."

"I don't want to build the harness. I know what you're going to do with it," said the frog.

"But if we don't build it, the Others will! We'll lose the race to build scorpion harnesses! Everyone must be dedicated to the harness!"

And so the frog went back to constructing the harness, because he had tadpoles to feed.
