Is it ever okay to tell a lie? What makes a real friend? And here’s a question: How much is a person’s life worth? Yikes, that’s a tough one!

The Little Engine That Couldn't Decide What To Do

You see a train in the distance. But oh no! There are five people on the tracks, and they’re about to get hit!

Do you do nothing and risk five lives, or pull the lever, and deliberately cause the death of one? Talk about a pickle. We want to hear from you! Click here to send us feedback.
