The situation
You're near the front of the cross-country race, a real shot at winning for the first time, when a runner just ahead trips and goes down hard, crying out, clutching their leg — and stays down. Other runners stream past. You could too; the finish line is right there, and you've worked so hard for this. But this runner is hurt and no adult is near. The decision is yours, and the clock is ticking away your race.
