Debt...debt...debt. My family is in debt and the three drunken brothers will keep on harrasing us. They say that my father owed them money that was used to buy toddy. What can I do? The house has no money and we need to pay the debts! How I wish I could just leave Thul, go to Bombay and escape all this sufferings. Perphaps I could get a job, earn some money and when the problems at home is resolved, I could return home with the money I earned. Wouldn't that be better?

Dear Diary,
I feel so stupid! I could not believe that I had just let a murder suspect go and ate up her weapon! Stupid me! I should have use my big brain and think first before eating up that lamb's leg! What would happen? Would I be fired?!
It began when I received a call from the murderer, Mary Maloney, saying that her husband has been murdered. A few investigators and I then rushed down to the scene and saw an unconscious Patrick Maloney. After moving the corpse out, Mary Maloney then recounted what had happened, which was actually utter RUBBISH! We beileved her and when she offered us the lamb's leg saying that we were doing a favour for her, we just did as she said and ate the lamb's leg!
Since the evidence is not present anymore, we cannot accuse her of anything!!!!
I hope this would be my first and LAST time making such a stupid mistake.
Regards,
Jack Noonan

I had chosen the above ending as the princess would rather see the young man die than see him suffer with a horrible woman so she would have directed him to the room with the lion. The young man was also described in the story that he was very brave so he might have been a lion tamer.

This my ending to the story, The Lady or the tiger?, by Frank R. Stockton.
The tense moment had come. The young man signalled for the right door as the princess has signalled. "And the right door he chooses..." the king said as he signalled for the choosen door to be opened. As the door was about to be opened, the young man stole a glance at the princess and saw that her face was very pale, as pale as a sheet of paper. Before he had time to react, there was a deafening roar and the brown animal came rushing at the young man. The crowd was shocked and some covered their eyes, not wanting to witness a gory scene. But a surprise was in stored...
It turned out that the young man had once been a lion tamer and with the skills he had, he managed to tame the lion into a seating position, leaving him unscathed. Everyone was stunned, including the king and the princess. After witnessing what had happened, he made a quick message and the crowd started cheering jubilantly. It turned out that the king believed that the young man was an asset to the country if he makes him the prince. Thus, he agreed to allow his daughter to marry him.
True enough, when the prince succeeded the king, the country was a very successful and prosperous one and the king, queen, and the citizens of the country live happily every after.
