In this chapter, we learn that the wolf was adopted out of kindness, but only because he wanted to make a profit. In fact, the narrator says, the wolf's only purpose in adopting him was to "for profit." The narrator says that he's not only taking his things back from the family, but he plans to sever all ties between the family and him. He tells the family that he has two million dollars, which he can use to pay for the care of his son. The family doesn't deserve such a large sum of money, he says, and he wants them to be "away from the strife." He tells them to go inside and look at his room. He says that his son is not cheap, and that he may have to send him to a "filthy, dark place" to find a place to live.
