Olympiad dilemmas: friends, truth and telling, sentence 1

Sam is hiding from bullies in the toilets, and the bullies ask Leo, "Where's Sam?"; Leo doesn't owe bullies information, so "Not telling you" and fetching a teacher is often best, and most people think even a lie here would not be wrong.

Who acts: Sam, bullies, Leo, most people, lie · What happens: hide, ask, be, not owe, not tell, fetch · To what, where: bullies, Leo, Sam, bullies information, you, teacher · Speech: someone speaks here
