After getting permission from his mother the son set off for the Kumgang Mountains. At the foot hills to the mountain he found an inn run by an elderly women. He told her that he had come to hunt the white tiger that had taken the life of his father so many years ago. She told him that she remembered his father and that he was one of the greatest marks person gunner in the land. She turned to him and told him that his father could shoot the leaf off the top branch of a tree a distance from where they spoke. The woman said "If you can't do the same thing, how can you expect to defeat the White Tiger?"
The boy then tried to equal the feat the woman claimed his father was able to do. The boy turne4d his back to the tree and shot missing said leaf. He had asked the old innkeeper if he could stay around for the duration it would take to master this feat. She gave him permission.
Thus, he resigned himself to practice for three more years before he could accomplish this close to impossible feat. He had asked the old innkeeper if he could stay around for the duration it would take to master this feat. She gave him permission.
Why is the in keeper acting as his mother did?
Did she simply see too many hunters fall to the white tiger?
What does she represent?
