The night of the party arived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon,so Claire dismissed Tony for the rest of the night.At that moment, Tony took her in his arms, bringing his face close to hers. she heard him declare that he did not want to leave her the next day, and that he felt more than just the desire to please her. Then the front door bell rang.
What might happen next
Step 4 FurtherThinking
Please read the ending of the story and see how it is different from yours.
Tony let her go and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything. The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover. And she remembered Tony was just a machine, she shouted, “leave me alone!” and ran to her bed. She cried all night.
The next morning, a car drove up and took Tony away. The company was very pleased with Tony’s report on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human being from harm when he prevented Claire from falling off a ladder. He had also opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, which would make them envy Claire. But even though Tony had been so clever and caring, he would have to be rebuilt. You can not have women fall in love with machines.

2. Do you think it’s possible to have domestic robots like Tony in our houses in the furture
Today’s science fiction is tomorrow’s science fact.
--Isaac Asmov
3. What relationship do you think will develop between humans and robots in the future
Maybe we will use robots as a substitute for human relationships and offer companionship, for example, caring for the sick or disabled, because robots always get along with people and never get angry or upset.
Will robots be a helping hand or a threat to humans
