Once is known for mixing together different tales, so what if, when the show features the fairy tale of "The Princess and the Frog" it blends it together with the Aesop fable "The Scorpion and the Frog."

For those unfamiliar with that particular Aesop story, here it is: A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too." The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?" Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..." I've always loved this little fable (though my favorite Aesop is ''"The Dog and its Reflection"). ''

Any thoughts?
