Homework: The Lady or the Tiger.
…And love was supposed to be Giving
A young man lost his life yesterday, in the semi-barbaric King’s brutal judgment arena. His crime, loving the king’s daughter. Neither the Princess, nor the Young Man denied these claims, but accepted them as facts. Yet the King would hear none. He decreed that the matter would be decided in the Judgment Arena. Either way the Young Man would be disposed of. If he chose the one door he would be faced with a brutal tiger, if he chose the other, he would face a maiden to whom he would instantly be married to.
The Princess, with a soul as fervent as her father’s,
chose not to sit ideally, she found out which door had the Tiger and which the Lady. Something which even the King didn’t know.
With this knowledge she led the Young man to his brutal death. While all the eyes, in the court were on the Young Man, his eyes were on the Princess. He signaled “Which?” to the Princess with a scratch. She in turn responded with a movement of her arm. With this she gesture to the right door. And out came the Tiger.
The Princess’s love was more demanding then giving, she couldn’t bear to see her love, with another. Instead of giving her love his life, she took it instead.
