What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

She can do the same to her husband as she did to the tiger.

I think the story is very inspirational.


barbara, age 58

barbara's Comments:

I feel badly that the tiger would no longer get his rice and meat.


Malao, age 12

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

She can earn his trust like she did with Fu, (That's the Cantonese word for Tiger. My name means Monkey.) and then she will have her husband back. When you return from war, you do not trust easily. I know this because my father was in a war.

Malao's Comments:

I loved the story, because my father's name is Fu, which means Tiger, and tigers are my favorite animal. I think Hok, Long, and Seh should be in the story as well! They are Cantonese names for animals. Hok is for Crane, Long is for Dragon, and Seh is for Snake.


Adoncia, age 12

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Yun Ok could help her husband by giving him a little time to cool down his mind and then to ask him to be normal with her as he was before because he had just returned from the war.

Adoncia's Comments:

The wife loved her husband dearly as she even went to the forest for six months to get the tigers whiskers.


zonelyn, age 13 years old

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

yun ok can help her husband by giving her full love and support to him.. letting him remember the past happy memories they have shared and by being gentle to him.. she must be more patient and understanding, she must pray to God for He will help her, and she must love her husband like the way she loved him before.

zonelyn's Comments:

It's really nice and you can get many morals that you can use in your daily lives. It is really interesting and I find it nice to read..


shubham, age 20

She can give her perfect care.

shubham's Comments:

It is a too long and a boring story.


Brian, age 13

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Give him tips.

Brian's Comments:

Good asian folk tale.


Mubu, age 13

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

By being patient and treating him as well as she treated the tiger.

Mubu's Comments:

I thought it was great and it also teaches a great lesson.


joycel, age 13

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Yun Ok can help her husband by being patiently get the attention of his hisband, like from what he had done to the live tiger to get it's whisker..

joycel's Comments:

This folktale was a very interesting ang nice folktale... That has a good moral lesson to everyone.. especially from those who have problem to their love one...


Michael, age old

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Treat him the same way she treated the tiger, as the hermit suggested.

Michael's Comments:

The story was first read to me by my pastor. It meant a lot then, and still does today. If we all treated those challenges in our lives this way, the world would be a more peaceful place...


Amber, age 9

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

She can help him first by asking what is wrong, second by asking if you can do anything about it and last but not least if you could do something about it, she should do it.

Amber's Comments:

loved it loved it loved it


hasnain, age 16

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Yun Ok can help her husband with politeness such as she similarly does with the tiger. Even though the tiger is frightening and dangrous they have no brain in their heads, but people are much more intelligent.

hasnain's Comments:

We can make the world even better with politeness.


sinichinaru, age 12

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

I don't know!

sinichinaru's Comments:

A tiger is more vicous than a man.


nickie, age 14

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Being patient and understanding will calm her beast-like husband. That, or he was always that way but when he left she only remembered the good things so when he returned she saw the real him and not the 'he' he used to be. =] Wouldn't that be a good plot twist?

nickie's Comments:

Well, "Whootie Owl" (funny name., by the way) I had to read it for homeschooling but I did enjoy it. =]


Ian, age 21

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Yun Ok is supposed to get closer to her husband by treating him with patience, tenderness, and a little fear. Eventually, when she is close and he is letting her pet him, she needs to trim his beard so that a hobbit can throw it into a fire.

Ian's Comments:

It was a decent parable, but I didn't like the way it made Yun Ok completely responsible for her husband's anger. As a husband myself, I believe that emotional recovery is best reached when both the man and the wife strive for it. The tiger never decided that Yun Ok was safe, it was behaviorally conditioned to be complacent with her.


kolli, age 6

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

I don't know.

kolli's Comments:

it was a little bit boring and there wasn't much speech.


hanna, age 10

hanna's Comments:

I think I should be patient.


annie, age 17

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Be kind and loving to him just like she was to the tiger. It will take time but eventually he will come around and be kind to her like he once used to be.

annie's Comments:

The story is a good one. I think that it shows how people need to be patient. They don't always need something to help them get through the tough times in life they can work it out themselves. Patience is a virtue.


, age

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Tell him that she loves him very much.

's Comments:

Nice story. Made me think about peoples' feelings.


Anonymous, age 9

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Yun Ok can treat her husband the same way she treated the tiger. Therefore, her husband will realize how much she wants him to change.

Anonymous's Comments:

It was super! I really really enjoyed it. In fact, my whole family took turns to read it. They said it was great!


Dude, age 104

She can run away and never return.

Dude's Comments:

It was ok


Danielle, age 11

What must Yun Ok do to get through to her husband?

Danielle's Comments:

It was a great story.
