“The Lady or the Tiger” by Frank R. Stockton is not a regular fiction book about adventures, treasures, and monsters.
This is a type of story called an allegory. It’s basically a story that has a hidden meaning.
The story starts with the big king being described.
He was tall, strong, and had lots of authority over his people. But he was also half barbaric, which meant that
if he got just a little bit triggered, he would get angry.
After the description, the subject that made him a little angry was sent to his arena. The arena wasn’t for fighting, it was actually set to make peace. Whether he got kindness or killed. The task was simple, the subject had to open 1 of 2 doors. 1 of them had a tiger, and the other once had a lovely lady in it. (The next day…)
The day had arrived! all the people were in the arena watching the man’s fate be chosen. But… the princess had her dad’s barbaric blood so she could also be enraged in a few seconds. So… wouldn’t he die both ways?
The moral of this story might be to choose wisely because one bad choice and you could be in trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
