She whispers, “Yes.” She shows him the way out. Then she asks, “Do you want to be friends?” He ponders and says, “Let me think about it.” Should he be her friend? Should he not be her friend?

Christopher chooses to be her friend. They start chatting and Molly asks him if he wants to play a game. He says, “Sure.” “What do you want to play?” Molly utters She wants to play ball, but Christopher wants to play tag. What should they choose? Should they play tag? Should they play ball?
