A Dilemma
A dilemma emerged in his mind. He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to help this frightening, yet helpless and needy animal. Maybe it was better to skate away to avoid any accidents. His friends were now tiny white dots in the distance and it seemed like they were unaware of the situation. Deep down, Mike knew he couldn’t bear to leave this animal in the cold.
It would surely kill it, and that thought haunted the young man. On the other hand, the ice was too thick to break with ice skates. Mike had to find an alternative, but he feared he couldn’t do it alone.
