Ending to the Lady and the Tiger 

“The question of her decision is one not to be lightly considered, and it is not for me to presume to set myself up as one person able to answer it. And so I leave it with all of you: Which came out of the opened door- the lady, or the tiger?” 

When the man chose the right door over the left, because the semi-barbaric princess had made the hand signal, he made his way towards the right side door. For a moment he thought what was really on the other side of that door, and if the semi-barbaric princess had sent him to his doom, because if she could’nt have him, then no one could.

And then the man had angry thoughts about the barbaric king. Maybe the king had made an unfair change, and there was no lady waiting on the other side of either door?

The semi barbaric princess’es decision will still not be revealed, because nobody will know if the result was caused by a last minute change, and if the lady was not put in either door, or even if the semi-barbaric princess really just did not know which door the lady was in. But part of the outcome was the barbaric king’s fault, and his trickery into making sure that the man was definately killed so there was no possible way that the relationship between the man and the princess remained. 

And the king did trick the man, because what came out of that right-side door was neither a lady, or a tiger, it was a…………….LADY TIGER! 

The man thought that this was the end for him, and he would get mauled. But it didnt happen, in fact, something else took place. The priest followed by the band of choristers, and dancing maidens blowing the joyous airs on golden horns advanced to where the man and tiger stood. And even the princess was bewildered to eventually see the man in the arms of not another woman, but a woman tiger.
