Hall of Infinite Doors
You are so very hungry. You spy a vendor on the street, selling some fruit. Slyly, you follow a crowd people, and while passing the fruit stand, you quickly reach out and snatch an apple. You continue on your way and hope nobody has seen you.
"HEY YE!" a deep, loud voice roars behind you. You look over your shoulder and see an enormous man rumbling towards you like a run-away boulder. You try to run, but the man grasps your shirt and pulls you back.
"DO YE KNOW WHAT THE PENALTY IS FOR STEALING, BOY?" the man grins.
"Nope." you shake your head. The man pulls out an axe.
"No, please. NO!" you scream.
"YUR GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE ME A HAND!" the huge man roars.
"No! I won't do it again! PLEASE!" you plead. The man ignores you and drags you behind the stall, into his house, then out the back way. He points to an enormous pile of wood.
"I'LL NEED YE TO CUT THAT UP BY SUNSET." he grunts.
"OH!" you break into a smile and wipe the sweat off your brow, "I thought you were going to..."
"CHOP OFF YOUR HAND?" the man finishes, "THAT IS THE COMMON PUNISHMENT FOR A MAN. YUR JUST A WEE BOY!" You gulp and thank God for your youthfulness.
"NOW GET CHOPPING!" the enormous man hands you the axe, which you can barely lift, and stomps back into his house.
You look at the enormous woodpile, shake your head, and you get chopping.
