A True Leader

A drabble about leadership. A drabble is a flash fiction consisting of 100 words, no more, no less.

Suddenly the professor of a philosophy class said something unexpected.

"Since it's so nice out you are allowed to buy some ice cream.  But I need a leader for the group.  Any volunteers?"

"Me!" a young man said, "I'm the strongest."

"Me!" a girl exclaimed, "I'm the prettiest."

"Me!" a boy yelled, "I'm the hungriest."

But the professor ignored them, looking at a quiet girl with her hand up.

"Yes?"

"Well I may not be strong or hungry, but I am the only one here who knows where the ice cream shop is."

The professor chuckled, "Now that's a leader."
