Questioning your morality...

You are alone in a park with a frog and and housefly. The frog is eyeing the fly while waiting in ambush. It keeps stalking the housefly like death. The housefly doesn't know about this potential danger, but you know everything that's going on. The frog's now inches away behind the fly and you are close enough to intervene.

What do you do?

Do you shoo away and save the housefly from becoming the frog's meal or do you abstain from intervention and let the frog satisfy its hunger, therefore saving the frog instead?
What do you do?

This was one of those questions my father posed to me during my childhood.
