What should Harry do?

Should harry just walk on by?

Harry could decide it is Fred’s problem that he has fallen over and just keep walking by.

Should Harry tell Fred off for not being careful?

Harry could tell Fred he should look where he is going!

Or should Harry help?

The best thing for Harry to do would seem to be for Harry to help Fred get out of the hole. .

Fred has fallen over and Harry doesn’t actually know whether it is Fred’s fault or not.

If he just walks past, as in the first picture, he is not offering to help a friend in need.

This reminds me of the story of the good Samaritan. Jesus told the parable of the man who fell by the roadside, and a levite and a priest just walked on by ( probably thinking they were really good people) but the Samaritan, a stranger, stopped and helped him.

( Luke 10:30-37)

If Harry blames Fred, he is not only not being very nice, but he is assuming that it is Fred’s fault when he doesn’t actually know that.

Job’s friends did this when he was having a bad time.. They told him it was all his own fault when actually it wasn’t. That’s why they were called ‘miserable comforters’ ( Job 16.1)

So, Harry decides to stop and help.
