I generally prefer full length novels to short stories but I came across a list by the Bibliofile of "the best short stories of all time" and decided to read them. I started with this one and it was great! In fact I feel surprised that I haven't already read it, it seems the kind of thing that would be a school assignment. I'll definitely read more from this list.

sebrittainclark I had to read it as a school assignment, and I still occasionally think about it. 5y

The very first short story I ever had the pleasure of narrating was my favorite: The Lady or The Tiger. No quick link for this one because I did it a few years ago, but you can find it on Audible if you're interested. #audiobook #shortstory #fantasy

gibblr I LOVE this story. Used to teach it in 8th grade and they hated the end! I would make them write their own ending in the author's style. 8y
ValerieAndBooks Wow! Thanks for mentioning...just read it online! I bet it really does make for great discussions! 8y
Bookworm83 @gibblr That's what I have my kids do, too! It's one their (and my) favorite assignments. Did you know there is another story that follows it? 8y

mhillis This is a great story to read with students! I didn't know about the other story 8y
gibblr Have never read that one, but will definitely check it out! 8y
Bookworm83 @mhillis @gibblr I just discovered it this year. It's not as good as lady or tiger, but the author is still up to his same old tricks 😊 8y
