An old man saves a wolf, which tries to attack him. The old man tells the wolf that he is not fair, but the wolf tells the old man that there was no bad karma in this, as he is a wolf. They quarrel for a while, and go to ask three different animals their opinion on the matter, including a Dzo and a horse. All animals agree with the wolf, that there is no bad karma. When they ask a rabbit, asks the wolf to go back where it was trapped and then stops the old man from saving it a second time. In this way, the rabbit teaches the wolf a vivid lesson about karmic causality.
