In 1993, mountaineer Greg Mortenson failed to climb K2, second-highest mountain on earth, located on the Pakistan-China border in the Himalayas, referred to as the rooftop of the world. In his best-selling book Three Cups of Tea, he writes how on his descent, having become separated from his climbing party, he stumbled into a remote village that extended great hospitality to him. They were open to his presence and he was open to their kindness, which nursed him back to health. The problem is that this story is not true.
