Read the instructions for the original Morality Test to fully undestand the rules. It takes great thought to come to the correct conclusion and your first assumption is incorrect, in line with how I described "Morality Test"

**This one's easier**

It so happens that you are living in London in 1349 and you love animals. In fact you love them so much you've not bothered to kill the rats infesting your barn. Your father has been laying traps and when he's at work you disarm them because even though they scare you, you know they are soft and fluffy and would kind of like to pet one. You are a young girl, no more than 10, and sound asleep when you hear your beloved Mittens and your beloved Rover making an aweful racket in the barn. No one else hears it, and feeling safe on your farm you go into the barn where you hear the growling and hissing armed with nothing but a large stick and a steel resolve to brave this out.

Mittens and Rover are both torn to ribbons, bleeding terribly with a singly extraordinarily large rat trapped in a corner. They are dying. The rat is killing them, though they've fought bravely.

Obviously you try to kill the rat with the stick, but it is too fast. You try for what seems an hour but has actually only been minutes amidst hissing and growling. More than once during this melee your small pets have saved you from being scratched or bit by this super rodent.

You swing desperately again and hit a support beem which had been chewed nearly through by rats. The barn shifts and a beem falls and kills the rat!

You've destroyed the support for the barn you realize with your mighty swing and the whole thing is coming down. Your brave and beloved pets begin whimpering. They are bloody from the hard fought battle but before the whole thing falls you can only save one. They won't move, frozen in fear.

Who do you pick up and take to safety? The puppy or the kitten.

There is only 1 correct answer, all other answers are incorrect. Your first guess is worng. I will tell you the right answer in a couple days (or when I get to it) or if someone gets it right I will let you know.

**ANSWER**

Tons of good answers, but as someone mentioned it was during the black plague. If a rat is attacking a puppy and kitten there is likely something wrong with it, Black Plague, rabies, whatever. Both animals were bleeding from the fight it mentioned.

Unfortunately during this time and with little medicine available or understanding of disease, letting them both die is very likely to save many other lives.
