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.
