The Lady, or the Tiger?

The big wooden door on the right creaked open. As he was pushing it open, he knew what would lie behind the door.A small hole opened, too small for anyone to see, but what was behind the door was a ferocious tiger that stood behind the door, almost as tall as him. That tiger seemed to have not been fed for the days, and was waiting to just jump out and pounce on him and devour him whole. Some of the audiences already seemed to had their opinions on what would come out, some were hoping it would not be a tiger, because the sight would be horrific. But everyone was waiting, just waiting for the animal or lady to come out.
The door was now big enough for the tiger to come out. In the speed of lightning, the tiger jumped out and attacked him. The princess closed her eyes, to avoid such a scene. Some sadistic audiences cheered, while some afraid of the scene like the princess closed their eyes.
After everything was done, many asked her was that the door she was wanting him to choose, and why? Well, the princess did not answer those questions. But the reason why she guided him to choose that door was, if she guided him to choose the door with the lady, she would be hurt everytime she saw them. The pain would be much greater, than just being hurt for only a few moments seeing him get devoured. And it would also put her at peace, for she would no longer regret why could she not have the man she loved.
