Long time ago, a scholar by the name of Dongguo was stopped by an injured
wolf, which begged him to save its life from pursuing hunters. Dongguo hid the
beast in his book bag and misdirected the hunters.
The ungrateful wolf wanted to eat Dongguo as soon as it crept out of the book
bag. Terrified, Dongguo tried to buy himself some time. He suggested that they
consult three elders and let them decide if the wolf ought to eat Dongguo. Finally,
an elderly man came to Dongguo's rescue, as he tricked the wolf back into the
book bag and killed it.
(You may see a cartoon of this story by the famous Chinese cartoonist Zhang
Leping.)
