Amiu - The Wolf and the Scorpion

Last time around, I mentioned that the star nearest to the brightest star in the sky is called the Wolf's Asshole and that if you look at the Wolf constellation it's not hard to see why. The same star is represented by a scorpion in art, and I said there was a story about that. lolaraincoat wanted to hear it.

Unlike the last story, this one is more a folk tale than a mythological episode, and is not considered to be "true", though it does allude to moral and factual truths. It's a just-so story for the entertainment and edification of children, and the themes should be familiar.

While I was thinking about this, I sketched what might be a typical storytelling scene (in my own artistic style, not theirs).

And here's the story, as he might tell it:
