In "A Worn Path", Old Phoenix Jackson was able to hit the dog her cane before falling into a ditch. She waits until a young white hunter shows up and helps her out of the ditch. He is demeaning at first about her age, then shows prejudice because he says “I know you old colored people…wouldn’t miss going to town to see Santa Claus!”
She sees a nickel has fallen out of the hunter's pocket, and before taking it, she distracts him by saying that his big black dog isn't afraid of anything. Not only does he chase it off to prove her wrong, but also points a gun at her at an attempt to assert power.
Answer:
I decide it's best to do something. It's not the first time it's happened, meaning that it's going to happen again. Not doing anything is basically the same thing as being a bully. I decide to tell a trusted adult so that the bullies can get what they deserve and that student can stop being bullied. It's the right thing to do and it solves things.
