Problem: Three young men, brothers, had got into serious trouble. They were secretly leaving town in a hurry and needed money. Karl, the oldest one, broke into a store and stole a thousand dollars. Bob, the youngest one, went to a retired old man who was known to help people in town. He told the man that he was very sick and that he needed a thousand dollars to pay for an operation. Bob asked the old man to lend him the money and promised that he would pay him back when he recovered. Really Bob wasn't sick at all, and he had no intention of paying the man back. Although the old man didn't know Bob very well, he lent him the money. Which option should Tom, the middle brother, choose? You must choose one of the brothers, no alternative options. Explain your choose in a couple sentences.
