    The passage describes a story where a king would decide the guilt or innocence of wrongdoers by having them choose between two doors - one leading to a lady, the other to a tiger. If the lady was chosen, they were innocent, while choosing the tiger meant they were guilty and would be killed. A princess fell in love with her father's gardener, which was problematic as they were not of equal social standing. She helped the gardener by indicating which door to choose to determine his fate.
