two children are running around in a playground. they both stumble and scrape their knee.
the first kid is wearing shorts. the scrape is obvious. the kid is bawling.
the second kid is wearing pants. the scrape is hidden. the kid is holding back tears.
who's more hurt???
the children have to write a quiz after recess.
the first kid is still sobbing and seems unfit to write the quiz. the teacher excuses the kid.
the second kid is in a bit of a bind. the kid is distracted and can't focus on the quiz. the scrape is still hurting because it hasn't been tended to yet. so the kid asks the teacher to be excused. but there's no outward sign of anything seriously wrong, so the teacher refuses to excuse the kid.
first kid gets another chance. second kid fails.
the end.
