Create a black and white watercolor illustration capturing the essence of a buddhist tale. the scene should depict a serene forest setting by a river. in the foreground, a monk, deep in meditation, notices a struggling scorpion in the water. as the monk reaches out to save the scorpion, the creature raises its tail, ready to sting. nearby, a curious onlooker watches the scene with a mix of concern and intrigue. the overall mood should evoke a sense of calm, compassion, and the juxtaposition of pain and kindness. the monk's expression should be one of determination and peace, emphasizing the story's theme of staying true to one's nature despite external challenges.
