At the back of his mind he knows that if something happens to that kid, including death, he will be responsible. All these feelings will be coming to him as he knows that saving the kid is a very easy job for him because he is a really good swimmer. He also knows that his clothes are less important than the kid’s life and that he will get new clothes if these clothes get ruined.

2.) Think of an example of Jesus’ teaching and explain how his teachings can help us to make an appropriate decision?
