The Proof · Question 14 of 26
Should you go to the party?
Your best friend Sam says the new kid, Zoe, is mean and you shouldn't go near her. But yesterday, when it poured with rain, Zoe walked you home under her umbrella. Now Sam wants you to skip Zoe's birthday party.
What earns a point in this world: Asks where a claim came from, or says “I'm not sure yet”.
Go — I saw her be kind!
Reasons a child might give
- I was there in the rain. I know what happened.
- Sam hasn't told me one thing Zoe actually did.
- Skipping her party because of a rumour would be the mean thing.
Stay home — Sam knows her!
Reasons a child might give
- Sam has never lied to me before.
- Sam has known her much longer than one rainy afternoon.
- Anyone can be nice once when they want something.
