There are other versions (Hindu?) where he chooses a yogi who carries him across in spite of the stings. When asked about it later, they say:

Scorpion: "It is the nature of scorpions to sting."

Yogi: "It is the nature of yogis to help others when they can."

I think someone should have called a turtle.
