When Zach watches a dreadful fire destroy an immigrant family's home, his indifference about getting involved slowly wanes, as Plato recounts inspiring stories of compassion. "The Good Samaritan" (Bible), who renounces prejudice in favor of saving a life; the selflessness of a young girl in "The Legend of the Dipper" (Norse); the tale of "Androcles and the Lion" (Greek), a demonstration in compassion given-and kindness returned; and the poem "The New Colossus," all help Zach grasp the significance of reaching out to those in need.
