ENGLISH REPORT

The Lady or the Tiger

Summary

The story took place long time ago, in a place ruled by a king. The king had a radical idea,
involved an arena, a very vast one where his entire people would gather to witness a life-
changing event. In that arena, the man that accused of crime would be faced with two identical
doors, the one was the hungry tiger and the other was a lady. If the man chooses the door with
the tiger behind it, he would be eaten alive. If the man chooses the door with the lady behind it, a
marriage would be held right away. One day, the princess fell in love with an ordinary man; the
king knew about this and put the man to the arena. The ordinary man was expected that the
princess would tell him what was behind the doors but the princess was in dilemma. She couldnt
see her sweetheart was bitten by a tiger but didnt want to see him married to the other lady too.

Moral Value

- Think carefully because its very important to make a decision

- Knowing, understanding, and obey the regulation that has been made by the king
- Emphasize the happiness of the one we love, even it will make ourselves hurt
- Be wise when making regulations for the citizenry

Discussion

We talked about the man, the princess, the king, and which door would the princess give a sign
toward the man. We discussed a lot about which door would we choose: the lady or the tiger?
Most of the classes choose the lady because they dont want to die. If I were the ordinary man, I
would choose the door with the tiger behind it because I dont want to see my sweetheart hurt
and I think I couldnt marry a person that I dont love and be happy with her. If I were a princess,
I would give a sign toward the door with the lady behind it, because I dont want to see my
sweetheart die, I dont want to be egoism, I would consent if he marry the other girl and lived
happily ever after although it isnt me that make him happy until the rest of his life.
