46.Why did Earl run to rescue that little boy? Why did I support his decision, instead of stopping him? The greatest instinct，I believe, is to help a child in need. The little boy's face, his look of fear and desperation, his cries for help－the choice was made in our intrinsic love for children. In an instant Earl ran across the bridge, vaulted the fence and ran to the water's edge. Unable to reach the boy safely from the shore, Earl stepped into the water. Then the shock registered on Earl's face as the water grabbed him, too, and prevented him from completing his mission immediately. In Earl’s expression, I could see that he had confronted much more than he could handle, even being as strong and athletic as he was. The little boy was just slightly ahead of Earl, always just out of reach, like a tiny beacon lighting the way to death’s door.
