Giving FBI a chance is another tale of the scorpion and the frog.
I have heard the scorpion and the hippo and the scorpion and the crocodile. It was even a major plot point on a two part Star Trek Voyager Borg episode: Scorpion (Parts 1 & 2).

Scorpion and frog: scorpion asks frog to help him across a stream and promises he won't hurt or sting him. Halfway across, the scorpion stings the frog and they both are going under and the frog asks the scorpion "Why?". The scorpion says it is because it is his being, and you don't defeat his being with an altruistic gesture.
