The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Michael Strogoff by Jules Verne: one that would carry just themselves, Michael would not

wharf, nothing even of which a raft could be made large
enough to carry three people. Michael questioned Nicholas,
who made the discouraging reply that the crossing appeared
to him absolutely impracticable.
"We shall cross!" answered Michael.
