The last time I witnessed a scenario between this creature and a friend, Huh!!!!!!......... It was life threatening. Someone nearly ran mad..!!!!
I was at the village for the Christmas holiday, there at the village I and some friends decided to walk round and see things since it’s been long we left the place. Just by the road side my friend decided to pick up a stick, unknown to him that a mighty scorpion was on the stick, the creature decided to give him a touch. Without saying a word uncle just started running with great speed going back home….
Uncle wait naaa… what`s the problem…..??
Uncle started shouting----- am death, am death…… Still running home
He covered a distanced one wouldn’t be able to cover on a normal circumstance without rest.
