Topic that you provide for today is quite difficult for me because it is difficult to suggested to the monk without the first man was not hurt and it was not against the monk rules.However,I can give the advice to the the monk as my idea,as follows.First,If he want to help the first man without it was not against the monk rule,when the second man asked him,he must not give them an answer and he should be calm like nothing happened because he is a monk,he has the right to answer that question or not ,and that he did not answer them question does not a lie,but It was simply not speak.Then,for a few second when they received no response,it might make them think that the monk was meditate, then they walked away.Finally,he can help the first man from being hurt without he was not against the monk rules,too.
