A Moral Question

[Guest guest]

This is a moral/ethical question that was actually used on a job

application:

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass

by a

bus

stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

(1) An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

(2) An old friend who once saved your life.

(3) The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to? (There could only be

one

passenger in your car)?

You could: pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus

you

should save her first;

Or you could: take the old friend because he once saved your life, and

this

would be the perfect chance to pay him back.

However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover

again.

The candidate who was hired, (out of 200 applicants), had no trouble

coming

up with his answer.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

He answered simply: " I would give the car keys to my old friend, and

let

him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for

the

bus

with the woman of my dreams. "
