I had to read that in like 6th grade...I remember it...good story except the end drives me crazy...I'm still not sure which way I decided it would end...it could easily be either one...the lady or the tiger...I hate books with endings like that.

You hate thinking about the story? Wow, that's weird for someone who posts here.

I think the Lady. It's pretty easy to have her killed in some sort of an accident and get your lover boy back.

Wow, I'm cold. Gotta pray that outta me...

I feel the tiger came out, because jelousy is such a strong emotion.

I feel the tiger came out because of their intense love for each other- being forced to live away from each other would be a much greater pain than death alone.

No, I didnt say that. I meant I hate stories that end like that-that leave you off not knowing what happened...I didn't say I hate thinking about the story...I thought about it a lot when I read it.

Sorry about the whole thing. I was kinda pissed that day and it came ot on the forums. It did seem at the time like you didn't like to think about the story. I jumped to a conclusion to feel that way.

Back on track now, I think that it'd be hard to be jealous of somelone you love that intensly.

and wouldn't the pain of losing them be worse than still being able to be with them? Just a thought.

Does she (the princess) believe in an afterlife? If she does then my answer is death. That is the middle path. For if she is true she shall call upon the tiger, and then she will end her life as well.
