Game #6: What would you do if...?

seagull

This weekend I was driving out of a shopping mall when something terrible happened. A seagull walked in front of my car and stopped. The bird was dragging its broken wing and couldn't fly. I couldn't drive around it because of my position in the intersection. Cars piled up behind me as I wondered what to do.
These questions came to me in my moment of panic:

1. Should I run over it and put it out of its misery?
2. Should I wait and hope it will hop out of my way?
3. Should I get out and try to carry it to the side of the road?
4. Should I call animal protection?
5. Should I honk and try to scare it?

In honour of this poor seagull, let's play the game: "What would you do if..."

The rules:
1. Answer the last "what would you do if" question (in comments). (To practise your if-clauses try to write the whole sentence: "If an injured bird stopped in front of my car, I would..."
2. Write (in comments) a new "what would you do if" question for the next person who stops by.

My question: "What would you do if an injured bird stepped in front of your car and you couldn't drive around it?"

*Only the first player should answer my question. Other players should answer the last question they find in the comment section. Come back often with new questions!

Hi Zahra your question touch my hart then I decided to answer it.
If one day, I were told that soon I would die due to a serious disease I would pray and ask god to cure me, because I want to live with my lovely husband and kids as long as I can , besides that I would do everything's I wanted to do and hoped for my family and my self .

What would you do if you have been chosen to be the president of your country ?

Comment by Zahra on November 10, 2009 at 3:32am: ell...good game...finding ways for the time when you need to make a somewhat instant decision ...Thanks a lot for your creative game ...

the answer to Tara's question: If my glasses broke right before I had to take an exam and if I really had trouble not having my glasses on ,I would ask the teacher to find someone to help me take the exam ,as some blind guys have their assistant help them while taking an exam.

What would you do ,if one day you were told that soon you would die due to a serious disease ?

Comment by Tara Benwell on September 23, 2009 at 8:16pm: I'd kick myself for not writing the story and then I'd think of a new story and actually write it.

What would you do if a someone wrote a good story out of an idea that you had?

Comment by Gamer on August 13, 2009 at 3:13pm: Do you mean if I was playing with it and it broke? If that happened I would tell the clerk the truth. Or, do you mean if my pen ran out? If my pen ran out I would buy a new one. I hate being without a pen.

What would you do if your computer died and you didn't have any backup files?

Comment by Nafis on August 6, 2009 at 4:46pm: I would break the side window to spare my keys and I would keep an extra car key in my bag to prevent such situations.

What would you do if you went to a restaurant and realized that you did not bring your wallet and then, did not have the money?
