11．A cruel person is often described as having the"courage and determination"of a scorpion （蝎子）．Although the scorpion's poisonous tail is very frightening，it is nothing but a weapon for defense （防御）．As for scorpion's life cycle，it is characterized by its own"scorpionism"．
Most of the scorpions we see are unmarried"young men and women"．Once they"get married"，they have come to the end of their lives．
Male and female adult scorpions fall in love with each other at first sight．They hold each other with their forelegs and waltz slowly in circles．The courtship （求爱） dance will not stop until they feel quite satisfied．This is called the dance before marriage．
After that，the couple will find a quiet place as their mating room．When the mating is finished，the male lies in its place，offering its body for the female to feed on in its pregnancy （孕期）．By the time the"husband"is eaten up，the female has hatched （孵出） out a mass of tiny baby scorpions which will soon break their mother's back as they are growing bigger and bigger．The babies feed on the dead body of their mother till they finish all of it．Then they will go in all directions to make their own living．
What kind parents!But it is very cruel to see wives eat husbands and children eat their mothers in turn．
