Yksi hylkää lapsensa päiväkotiin sulkemisajan jälkeen, toinen tekee samoin Intian viidakossa - jättäen lapsensa tiikerin, karhun ja suden hoiviin. Rudyard Kiplingin klassikko Viidakkokirja on kertomuskokoelma intialaisesta Mowgli-pojasta, joka kasvaa viidakossa villieläinten parissa. Tästä asetelmasta nousee myös kirjan teema: millaista on tulla hylätyksi ja tämän jälkeen muiden, tässä tapauksessa villieläinten, ylösnostamaksi - teema, jonka monet voivat lukea kaikuna kirjailijan omasta lapsuudesta. Mowgli oppii kuitenkin selviytymään viidakossa luonnonlakien ehdoilla.

The role of Fathers has changed much over the course of centuries. Men are now better suited to a role of co-parent in this modern age rather than the stilted, slightly aloof figure of times past. Being a Father is, of course, both a blessing and a burden.
