Mount Everest!
No sooner had Bi Fang finished speaking than Taseto sprang to his feet with a whoosh, the legs of his stool screeching across the floor as he placed his hands on the tabletop, his face full of surprise.
"Mount Everest! Is that the world's highest peak?"
"Is Mr. Bi going to climb Mount Jolmo Lungma?"
Bi Fang set down his knife and fork, and before he could comprehend why the other's reaction was so strong, Hask, sitting beside him, rapped his knuckles on the table and shot a glance at Taseto. Despite his scolding tone, there wasn't much blame in his voice, "Taseto, what do you look like? Sit down!"
Embarrassed, Taseto sat down.
After scolding his third son, Hask looked apologetically toward Bi Fang, "I'm really sorry for the interruption, Mr. Bi. Please forgive us. It's just that Taseto has been passionate about this kind of adventure since he was little."
