"Do not ride your bicycle around the corner." The mother had told the daughter when she was seven.
"Because then I cannot see you and you will fall down and cry and I will not hear you.".
"How do you know I"ll fall?" whined the girl.
"It is in a book, The Twenty-Six Malignant Gates, all the bad things that can happen to you outside the protection of this house.".
" I don't believe you. Let me see the book.".
"It is written in Chinese. You cannot understand it. That is why you must listen to me.".
"What are they, then?" the girl demanded. "Tell me the twenty-six bad things.".
But the mother sat knitting in silence.
"What twenty-six!" shouted the girl.
The mother still did not answer her.
"You can't tell me because you don't know! You don't know anything!" And the girl ran outside, jumped on her bicycle, and in her hurry to get away, she fell before she even reached the corner.

The Parable above brings four stories together with one thing in common: lessons learned by mother and/or daughter. How they relate to the parable brings about the uniqueness that each story holds. .
Within Waverly Jong's "Rules of the Game" there lies the lesson learned from the parable above. As a child, Waverly became known as a chess prodigy at age nine, and defeated grown men with sweat upon their brows and a smirk upon her lips. Her mother put discipline in her playing and showed her off as if she became a walking, bloodline trophy. One day, on the street, shown to person after numerous person that looked her way, Waverly had enough of her mother embarrassing her just because she presented her picture on the cover of Life magazine. Waverly saw herself not as her mother's trophy, but just as a daughter. When a fine line presented itself that day on the sidewalk she confronted her mom, consequently her mom took it as a negative thing rather than being open about it. Waverly wrenched from her mother's grip and took off down the street.
