Geographic: Brussels; Belgium
Description: A Raven crushes a Scorpion, which it holds in its beak, without being able to kill it. The Scorpion, seeing that he was unyielding, and that he had to die, bent his tail, and stung the Raven in the neck so sharply, that the venom spread at once through all the parts of his body, and he was forced to fall dead on the spot.
