Summary of raising scorpions
Explanation:
One of Gerry's favorite places is the crumbling wall surrounding the garden. It's plastered brick, though the plaster is cracked and moss grows over the whole thing. He spends hours watching the different creatures that stalk along the wall. Gerry is especially entranced by the scorpions that live under the loose plaster. He finds them charming, unassuming, and mostly safe, assuming he doesn't touch them. He even observes bits of their courtship rituals, which they undertake at night. The family forbids Gerry from keeping a colony in the house much to his displeasure, as that would allow him to see all of their courtship.
One day, Gerry finds a female scorpion covered in a mass of tiny babies. He decides he must capture her so he can watch the babies grow up, so he traps her in a matchbox and heads for the villa. He arrives at lunchtime, places the box on the mantel, and goes to lunch, his new catch entirely forgotten. When Larry is finished eating, he goes in search of cigarettes and matches and returns to the table. He puts a cigarette in his mouth and unsuspectingly opens the matchbox. The annoyed scorpion darts onto his hand, and things go downhill. Larry screams and flings the scorpion onto the table, scattering babies everywhere. Roger (their dog)thinks the family is in trouble and begins barking wildly and bites Lugaretzia, the maid as she was the only stranger. The Scorpions then go to Leslie. He screams and flicks the scorpions with his napkin. They then head to Margo who screams and tries shooing the scorpions by throwing water. The water misses the scorpion and spills on Gerry's mother. The scorpions hide under plates and cutlery because of the nuisance caused.
Gerry convinces his family not to kill the scorpions and spends the next half hour collecting the babies. He reluctantly carries the mother back outside and releases her onto the wall. Larry is terrified of matchboxes after this, and Mother decides that it's time for Gerry to receive more education. She engages the Belgian consul to tutor Gerry in French.
