There's an old tale which goes like this:
A turtle was swimming along a river when a scorpion showed up on the shore.
The scorpion asked the turtle "Turtle! I'm not a good swimmer. Can you carry me on your back across a river?"
'Are you crazy?" replied the turtle "You'll sting me while I'm swimming and I will drown."
"Oh, but you are wrong turtle." stated the scorpion, "if I were to sting you, and you drown, then I would drown too, you see?"
The turtle thought for a while, and saw the logic of the scorpion's words.
"You're right!" said at last the turtle. "Hop on!"
The scorpion jumped on his back, and halfway across the river, the scorpion gave the turtle a mighty sting.
As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle cried:
"You said there'd be no logic in your stinging me! Why did you do it?"
"It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion replied. "It's just my character."

I will write more later.
That was quite a story. The nobleman/king was really blind to what was really happening.
You got it right! There are actually a lot of layers to the whole thing, The hardest part was to tell a somewhat complex story/metaphor without using words. Actually, I had to add some at the end, on the letter. Couldn't find other way around that. Anyways, thanks for your comment!
Daniel Schallau (forgot to tag you, and can't find how to edit my last message.) Thanks again!
Great job. It did look like it was difficult to do.
Very nice!
Great work, I really like this style of animation.
Thanks Martin Van Der Linden, I appreciate it!
Thanks a lot Damien Bigot! I'm a bit addicted to this, kind of, stop motion collage style too. I will probably do something similar again, sooner or later.
