Write a sequel to this story. You might decide once and for all whether the lady or the tiger is behind the door, or you might decide to make your sequel ambiguous in its own way. You could invent an entirely new way of ending the story. Tell about the final events from the point of view of one of the following characters: the young man, the princess, the king, a member of the audience in the arena--or even the tiger.

when the youth opened the door the lady stood behind it. the princess led him to her because she loved him truly and wholly, and when you love someone you want what's best for them even if what is best for them is not what you want to be best for them. that's all that's needed to be said

I hoped it would work, oh, how I hoped my plan would work. I had paid a lady who look extremely similar to me to take my spot in the stand. We look so much alike that my father, even close up, could not tell us apart and my lover from a far wouldn't see the difference ether. We made the switch easily and all she had to do was point to the right when the time came. I was running through the tunnels under the arena that led to the doors that held the woman and the tiger. I had studied a map of them since I found they existed. Finally I made it. Now all I had to do was to chose the one which contained the beautiful woman. I flung open the door o the right and yanked the girl out. I locked the door behind me before she even knew what happened. I then turned around and put on a smile just a split second before the door in front of me was opened. Sunlight seeped through blinding me for a second but I knew what to do. I stepped out and showed myself. As my eyes adjusted I saw the look of shock on my lovers face along with everyone else, including my father's. That was when all of the people who were involved with the wedding came pouring out and then the wedding proceeded. there was also nothing my father could do about my plan. Since he made the law that said "The man must marry the woman who steps out of the door, regardless of his situation in life." The wedding was wonderful and we are now living happily ever after.

When the man opened the door the lady stood behind it. When she saw that it was him she threw her arms around him and they were carted off to be married. When the princess saw this though it made her upset yet relieved at the same time. She was upset that she would not be married to the man she loved and that other woman was, yet she was relieved that the man she loved got to live. So she started a plot to kill the woman and get married to the man with her father's premission.

When the door opened the tiger stood there and the lady ran off in tears thinking about what she had just done. The tiger lazily walked out and layed at the feet of the frightened man. The man slowly crept away form the tower and attempted to climb up a nearby pillar. After a few failed attempts the tiger got up walked over to the man and scratched his legs. at this moment the man dasherd away alerting the tiger. The riger imediatly lashed for his throat. All was over very quickly.

As the Youth opens the door, he starts to hear growling. Since he has to open the door, he does so. The youth faces his doom and kids killed by the tiger. The crowd goes wild and the king laughs at the youth.

The young man watched the door as it opened, and it revealed a dark figure. The door lead to the tiger, which he was not expecting. Clearly the one he loved was too jealous of the lady behind the other door. He wouldn't go down without a fight though. He glared at the lion, who glared back hungrily. The lion pounced at him, but the young man rolled out of the way. He stood up, and managed to run through the door the lion came out of. Right as he did so, it closed. He managed to outsmart the lion, who was now trapped in the arena. The young man proceeded to walk through the halls, where he would meet his princess. But would she really be there for him as he thought? Or would he get in trouble with the king for not facing what his fate was?

As I opened the door the princess had directed me to,i heard a growl from the other side, it was a soft growl, muted, but a growl nonetheless. As the door opened, a gigantic tiger leapt out, he was drooling, his long fangs dripping with saliva as he contemplated his next meal, the tiger leaped at me, but i dodged out of the way. there seemed to be no escape. then I remembered the priest and the mourners and the celebrators standing just outside of the door behind me, a thought came into my head, i jumped before the door and gave a falsified cry of pain, the door opened and the mourners began coming out. seeing the veritable buffet coming from the door, the tiger stopped, turned and jumped. three mourners fell down. I saw my chance and fled from the arena, i would run to a new kingdom, choose a new name for myself, maybe John Doe (bet no-one would ever remember a name like that!) and i would hide from the barbaric king.

The tiger passed in its cage. I waited to see if the door would open, letting my vicious beast consume the young man. I began to grow impatient. The door should have opened by now. Perhaps the man had the fortune of choosing the lady. But no, the door opened letting the beast free, I saw as it leaped into the arena, and attack the young man. A scream came from the man, surly to feminine to be a man’s. On closer inspection my tiger was not attacking the man but a woman, and not any woman but the lady behind the other door. Understanding dawned; the man had forced open both doors. In a frenzied attempt to stop my beautiful creature I ran into the arena. I was half way their when the crowd cheered I looked to the kings perch and saw the man caring away the princes in a dead sprint. The king bellowed orders to his soldiers to go after them. The search lasted until the kings last breath but he man and the princes where never found.

He must choose a door. Life or Death. If i were choosong than I would choose Death.because wouldnt want to brake my princesses heart. Once i walked through that door I would be very frightened of what I would have saw, but I would die whithin an instant. No pain just die within the 2 seconds

The princess stood in the chair watching her lover struggle to choose his door and then she had enough. "Father I will return shortly just need to get something" she said as she hurried out the door "yes but be back soon you don't want to miss this mans death now do we" her father responded. "Of course father" she lied as she hurried down the stairs. What was she doing she was racing downstairs to save a man, but that was it, it wasn't just any man it was her man. She entered a room and meet two doors one containing the tiger and the other one safe. She opened the safe one slightly a whished to the man in the area "get over here now" the man ran towards excited and gratefully that she had decided to help her. "Now hurry there isn't much" she paused, for her father was standing in front of her just a few feet away. "daddy i-i-i-i umm" she stammer as she held tightly to the man's hand "off to your room you said" said the king as he moved slightly towards his daughter "I’m just going to grab something you said" he said in a more deeper and unclamping voice. Her father now scared her, she was unsure on what he was about to do. "Father let this man go, he" she paused once more as the king smiled "hurry up now you to go"

he had to choose life (the princesses sadness) or death ( princesses happiness) and he choose for the princess to be happy even though that meant a slow and painful death but it was all for the princess

The youth walked to the two doors he thought about what if his love pointed to the door of the tiger. What if his love pointed him to the door wich held the tiger, what if she could not stay the youth being with other women so she rather have him killed then love other girl. As the youth stood in front of the two doors he looked back at his lover, as she nodded he opened the left door only to a beautiful woman awaiting for him.

I am waiting for this door to open. I am hungry, and I need FOOD now! The door opened and I roared as the light pierced my face and I walked out with pride while I saw the coward look at me like "I am going to die". I jump at him and he jumps to the side. I run for him attack him. At that same time, some thing starts to hurt in my chest. I see my blood spilling on the floor and I fall down. The kid looking at me turns around and gives victory yell. I try with all my might to get up and I jump towards the kid and end his life. Then I collapse....
