It looked as if it was going to rain. Mark, however, insisted that he was supposed to go to enjoy the scene of the Forbidden City, along with his dog, who was balancing a beanie on his head. The dog was frightened by the argument between Mark, who was defending himself, and his mother, who tends to have no tolerance for her son. She thought her son deserved a punishment.
