PART A: How do the children respond to the man’s initial cry for help?

Initially, the children respond to the man's cries for help by making their way to Arthur's place. The implication is that they're thinking about getting him some rope or a ladder to help him climb out of the well. But before they reach Arthur's place, they slow down before eventually stopping where they are. After waiting for what seems like a while they walk back to the well, without anything that might help save the trapped man from his predicament.
