Judgment: Accurately anticipating repercussions after knowing what needs to be done

Scenario (Mostly for the Young):

Your teacher assigned a book report as your monthly homework and said that completing it by doing a piece at a time was better than procastinating. Unfortunately, you did not heed the teacher's advice and waited until 8:00 P.M. the night before to begin your book report. You tried to finish the book as fast as you could so you could begin the essay, but being a slow reader, it took you until 10:00 to finish the 90 page book. As you began typing your essay, you discovered that you did not remember the main points of the book due to the fact that you were reading to fast to notice what was happening in the book. Just then, you remember that your older brother had done a book report on the same book for a different teacher and had gotten an A+ on it. Out of curiosity, you check the documents file and discover that the essay is still in the file. Then, a little thought comes to your mind. Should you just print it out and say that you did it? It was a guaranteed A+. Or, should you turn in your own and risk getting a F? WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
"Answer":

In this situation, a true, honest leader would most definitely not turn in another person's work as their own. They would identify the repercussions as an A+, but a chance to get a low reputation from the teacher's point of view. Instead, a leader would turn in whatever work he/she had completed and receive the grade they truly deserved.
