It tells about a king who invented a new method for trying the accused, which is that the accused of a crime stands in front of two closed doors, one of which has a beautiful girl behind it, and the second has a hungry tiger behind it.
If he opens the door behind which the beautiful girl is, the accused will forcibly marry her. If he opens the door behind which is the tiger, he will have to wrestle with it or it will be a delicious meal for him. This choice indicates whether the accused is innocent or not. If the tiger’s door is opened, it means that the accused is guilty. If he opens the girl’s door, he will be guilty. Innocent and free.
