A father climbs his first mountain, on the border between China and Mongolia, and writes his four-year-old son a fable. He misses the boy and wants to teach him a valuable lesson about life. The fable is about a ferocious wolf that stalks society, and the father warns his son to beware of the beast. His advice is to flee the wolf, as if he were a rabbit. But the ferocious beast is an analogy for complacency and self-satisfaction.
