Once
upon
a
time
in
a
faraway
,
kingdom
,
there
a
king
who
ruled
the
land
with
an
fist
.
This
king
was
considered
to
be
unfair
and
cruel
,
primarily
because
of
his
?
unique
?
sense
of
justice
.
Each
time
a
man
was
accused
a
crime
,
the
king
would
never
rely
on
evidence
to
prove
the
man's
or
innocence
.
Rather
,
he
believed
that
the
gods
decided
the
suspect's
fate
and
that
the
suspect
be
put
on
public
.
The
accused
would
be
brought
to
the
center
of
an
amphitheater
filled
with
people
.
Directly
opposite
the
person
on
trial
would
be
two
closed
doors
,
exactly
alike
and
side
by
side
.
The
person
would
then
be
forced
to
open
one
of
the
two
doors
.
As
identical
the
doors
looked
,
what
lay
behind
them
was
very
different
.
Behind
one
door
was
a
fierce
,
man
-
eating
tiger
,
and
behind
the
was
a
beautiful
young
woman
.
In
other
words
,
one
door
would
ultimately
lead
to
death
for
the
accused
,
the
other
would
lead
to
glory
.
The
king
believed
that
if
someone
was
genuinely
guilty
,
he
would
choose
the
door
to
the
tiger
and
be
eaten
alive
.
If
,
on
the
other
hand
,
he
was
truly
,
fate
would
guide
him
toward
the
door
hiding
the
beautiful
woman
.
The
king
would
then
allow
him
to
marry
this
woman
.
Spectators
at
these
trials
never
knew
in
advance
whether
they
would
a
terrifying
death
or
a
grand
wedding
.
The
king
had
a
daughter
whom
he
cherished
above
all
else
in
the
world
.
What
the
royal
father
didn't
know
,
however
,
was
that
the
princess
had
a
secret
lover
.
As
handsome
and
honorable
this
young
man
was
,
he
came
from
a
family
of
very
low
social
status
in
the
kingdom
and
was
by
means
a
worthy
match
for
the
princess
.
One
day
,
the
princess
and
her
secret
lover
were
seen
embracing
passionately
in
the
palace
garden
.
When
the
king
became
aware
of
their
romance
,
he
immediately
ordered
that
the
young
man
thrown
in
jail
to
await
trial
.
Not
long
after
,
the
day
arrived
when
the
accused
was
brought
before
the
two
doors
.
The
amphitheater
had
never
been
so
full
,
and
the
entire
kingdom
was
curious
to
learn
the
young
lover's
fate
.
at
the
thought
of
death
,
he
nervously
back
and
forth
as
the
people
of
the
kingdom
watched
.
He
also
looked
to
the
princess
for
help
,
that
she
would
know
which
door
hid
the
beautiful
woman
and
which
hid
the
terrible
tiger
.
His
eyes
begged
her
for
a
clue
.
The
princess
felt
tragically
conflicted
.
She
did
not
want
her
true
love
to
be
apart
by
a
wild
beast
.
However
,
she
also
couldn't
the
thought
of
him
marrying
someone
else
.
with
anxiety
,
she
made
her
decision
.
To
instruct
her
lover
which
door
to
open
,
the
princess
made
a
subtle
movement
with
her
hand
,
a
she
was
sure
none
but
he
would
see
.
After
seeing
this
gesture
,
the
young
man
slowly
one
of
the
doors
.
All
the
onlookers
waited
with
bated
breath
as
he
forward
to
open
it
.
