My Ending to 'The Lady and the Tiger'

As the young youth opened the door, he gasped in horror as the tiger leaped forward and attempted to bite him. The youth had opened the door with the tiger inside! When the princess saw that, she cupped her hands over her eyes in despair. Her lover will be killed by the tiger!

By that time, the tiger had already caught the young youth, getting ready to crunch on its neck. The youth closed his eyes as the tiger's teeth got nearer and nearer to his neck...

"Stop!" a voice commanded. The tiger drew back itself and went back to the room. The king was the one who commanded the tiger to stop and return to the room. The youth was surprised as he looked at the king. The king was tearing! It was the first time the youth had saw the king cry before! He turned to look at the princess. However, she was gone! The youth quickly climbed up the stairs and confronted the king. As he looked closer, he realized that the king was holding a piece of paper. there was something written on it. When the king found out that the youth was beside him, he solemnly passed him the letter and beckoned him to read it.

After reading the letter, the youth also started to tear. He slowly walked out of the building, feeling devastated. Wanting to save the youth, the princess apparently wrote a note to the king, telling him that what her wish was was for the youth to live and have a happy life. With that, she got out to the balcony and committed suicide.

"Goodbye, cruel world", the youth said as he got ready to slash the blade of his dagger on his throat...

  1. I think it is a good story, with it having the familiar " Romeo and Juliet" theme with it. However, this story had a twist. In order to save the youth's life, the princess died, but then, the youth died too. Furthermore, the tiger does not listen to commands.

  2. Nice ending! I like the way you make the story more interesting by saying like : Yay! He is going to die! Then : No! He is going to live! Then : The princess is going to die! Then : The princess's lover is going to die! It is like the story has a lot of "ups and downs". Keep It up!
