A tribal elder tells his grandson that inside each person there is a black wolf and a white wolf battling. The black wolf possesses negative qualities like envy, greed, sorrow, anger and arrogance, while the white wolf possesses positive qualities like love, joy, kindness and peace. The grandson asks which wolf will win, and the elder responds that whichever one is fed will win.
