This story is so sorrowful for me. It is difficult to understand why Lenny runs away from the place where an event took place in a moment. If Lenny did not run away from the place where an event took place, the result of this story was changed. I think that this accident is so difficult to judge whether Lenny should killed or not. I think hard about this question.(70words)
