Giving Up A Goal For One Day
The three friends were very close with one another, so it was not an easy decision for them to decide to help the animal that was stranded on the solitary iceberg. It meant giving up their goal for the day, deviating from their course, and venturing into waters that had not been explored before.
Cliff and Mallory were undecided about the whole thing, but Allan was adamant that they should look into the matter, so he persuaded them to proceed with their plans. In the end, the animal that they found had a critical need for assistance, and its chances of surviving on its own were extremely slim.
