The Lady, or the Tiger?
Frank R. Stockton
What do you call it? Modern Fairy Tale or horror story.
Door number one or door number two. Either a live tiger or forced marriage. No word on the damsel's willingness to participate in this weird procedure. In a sense a trial by ordeal in an arena packed with an audience.
The only question here is does the princess want her lover eaten by a tiger or married to her competitor for his affections.
