We saw Garak's opinion on the moral of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, but I would very much have liked to see him and Bashir discuss the Scorpion and the Frog. I believe it's one of our fables that Garak would have genuinely liked ‐ and, I'd wager, one that Bashir would dislike, for much the same reason I dislike it. It's the tale of a frog who agrees to help a scorpion swim to safety during a flood, knowing that the scorpion, too, will die if it decides to sting. Halfway to shore, the scorpion, of course, stings anyways, dooming them both. When the frog asks why it would do that, knowing it would also die, it says, "I couldn't help it. I'm a scorpion; it's in my nature." The moral is: some people are inherently wicked, and will hurt you even to their own detriment. Hardly a very "Federation" story, when prisons had long since been replaced with rehabilitation centers and no one is believed to be truly irredeemable - and, on top of that, it's easy to see why an unwilling augment might find the idea of "evilness inherent to a person" uncomfortable. Garak, however, would find it quite refreshing, I'm sure. Almost Cardassian.
