The Lady or The Tiger

What Door Will He Chose?

          Once the commoner picked the right door they slowly started to open. He shut his eyes as he waited to if there was a lady or a tiger behind the door. When he opened is eyes there was no one there. How could this be he thought to himself? As soon as he stepped foot in the amphitheater the princess called out, “ I am the lady!”
           A smile arose on his face. He had never been this happy. First, because he gets to marry the love of his dreams. Second because a tiger is not mauling him right now. He walked further into the amphitheater. He waited from the princess to walk down to meet him. She was dressed in a white dress and her hair was blowing in the wind. She got to the commoner and they rode out on a carriage together. As soon as they got back to the castle they to a walk in the forest. Along the way they stopped to have a picnic in the meadow. The commoner and the princess sat there a talked about their life plans. The commoner asked the princess why he was lucky enough to get to marry her and why he did not get eaten by the tiger.
           She answered him with, “Because you’re the love of my love of my life and I want to be with you.”
            They picked up the picnic and walked through the forest down by the pond. They picked flowers and had a glass of wine. The commoner got up to walk back to the castle and has soon as he stood the princess pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the stomach. The commoner fell to the ground crying in pain. Why are you doing this he called out to the princess! I thought I was the love of your life? I thought you wanted to be with me?
           The princess walked up to the commoner and whispered in his ear I do love you but if I don’t you my dad will and it won’t be pleasant. She sat there next to the commoner crying by his side. His eyes finally closed and the princess let go of his hand and slowly walked back to the castle in her now blood stained white dress and her make up running down her face. She said to herself my dad better be happy.
