Passage

A father hoisted his toddler onto his shoulders while waiting to cross the street. The intersection had a North-South crosswalk on the opposite side; he waited for the signal to cross before having to wait to cross again. Growing impatient, he decided to make an effort on the side with no walkway while the light remained red. He stepped into traffic, and halfway to the other side, the light turned green. He did not speed up his gait. Instead, he made the oncoming traffic wait for him while his son sat atop his shoulders oblivious to the situation.

Dog Fight

At the birthday party a small black dog cowered under the food table, tail between its legs, teeth bared. A husky followed it around, looming over it, pestering it with a wet nose. The small dog lunged forward, snapped at the husky, and scurried across the courtyard to its owner who picked it up and caressed it into submission. The husky followed and circled around the now-raised dog. The owner of the husky did not notice the interaction.
