Hozen in the Mist

Almost appears to me as if Lorewalker Cho was talking about himself and his father, considering his very hands-on approach to learning. Though perhaps I am meditating on it too much.

Starts from a quest item mailed to the player upon completion of the achievement Hozen in the Mist.

When you turn in the quest, Lorewalker Cho tells you a story complete with a play-like reenactment and casts Storytime on the player.

"One day, a father grew tired of his young cub's misbehavior. 'You act just like a hozen!' the father scolded. Still, his son misbehaved.

To teach him a lesson, the father dragged the cub out to the forest, to watch how the hozen live. 'Do you see what the hozen are like?' he asked. 'Do you want to live like that?'

The hozen are quite lively indeed. A short-lived race, few hozen survive past their 20th birthday. Their leaders are all 14 or 15. How mature were you at 14 years old? Meditate on that!

Afterwards, the father asked his cub what he had learned.

'I learned that we work and toil on our little farm, but the hozen have the whole world as their garden.' the cub said. 'I learned that we squint by the light of a single candle, but that the hozen enjoy the light of the stars. I learned that I go to school every day, but that the hozen learn by doing.'

And the cub concluded, 'I should very much like to live like a hozen!'

Who then, was the wiser? The father or the cub? That, my friend, is for you to decide."

You can have Lorewalker Cho tell the story again by talking to him or clicking on the book that is added to your bookcase in the Seat of Knowledge.

The story Lorewalker Cho tells, appears to be based off a story that goes by a couple different names. "Rich dad, Wise Son" or "Through the Eye's of a Child". Telling of a wealthy big city father taking his son to the country to live the life of a poor farmer for a week. The father does not expect the answers he receives.
