Answer:

not speaking out when the time was right and not helping one another in times of trouble.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Little Rabbit, Wiesel, from the story "Terrible Things" and the speaker in the poem "First They Came for the Communists" both speaks about how trouble came against them but they couldn't do anything because they were not directly affected by it. They both realized how late it was for them to do anything until it happened to them finally.

Both the speaker and the little rabbit laments about feeling guilty for not speaking or fighting for others. It was only until when trouble came looking for them they realized that there was no one to seek help from.

Their actions are similar in ways like not speaking out when the time was right and not helping one another in times of trouble. Both of them desires to become responsible and fight for those who are being subjugated and troubled.
