In "Saving Tobe," why does Serafin risk his life to help Tobe when he is in danger of drowning in the river? His wife and children are watching and he knows they expect him to take action.

His brother drowned and he cannot bear to watch it happen to someone else.

He is the person who is most qualified to attempt to save Tobe.

He is the first person to arrive at the river and feels responsible to act.
