The Split Cherry Tree summary of Pa

 If Pa Saxton was here today he would be surprised by all the new things and technology today. He believed in about two things the fairness in everybody and that a man should work to pay off debts to make a honest living. If it wasn't for his son dave getting in trouble that involved him paying a dollar he would still be in the dark following his old traditions today. When he saw that is boy had to pay while four friends got off free he was still trying following his old rules and was about to pull dave out of school. The teacher was lucky enough to convince him that his son was learning or there would be a bullet in his head.
Once the teacher talked enough sense into him the really started to bond. Pa learned that their is newer science, inventions, and discoveries being made. He also learned about germs and how they grow on your teeth. The teacher learned about how every one should work to pay off debts not just pay with green. So I guess by the end of the day the teacher taught an old dog some new tricks.

     Once the Prince opened the door he was immediately met with a ferocious tiger. The princess, not caring about the other peoples "Aww," was giving an menacing smirk to what was about to be the Prince's demise. The prince, having barely enough reaction time, was clawed on his arm by the ferocious, leaping tiger. The tiger then saw the whole crowd and soon began to charge them, ignoring the peasant. The princess and king's laughter soon turned distraught as he made all his guards go and face the tiger, but by the time he gave the commands the soldiers were either maned, fled, or trying to spear the tiger. The peasant, seeing his chance, made a break for the second door. He opened it and took his soon to be bride, or at least she would be if the minister was still alive. As they both started to leave through the doors the princess saw them and ordered some troops to chase after them. Hearing the order, the peasant grabbed a small dagger off a dead soldier who was near him. As wounded warriors chased down the couple, the peasant would swiftly plunge the dagger into them.
     The crowd, screaming in fear and horror, started to flee the Amphitheater while the tiger continued to maul everything in sight. The only person who didn't move was the king who sat in his throne, shocked at what was happening to his beloved kingdom and prophesy. The peasant and his wife were so close to the exit, they could see the lights that gleamed at the end of the tunnel. Right as they exited, four spears waited a few inches in front their necks. It was the princess and five soldiers.

"Did you really think you two could escape the trial and this land alive and together?" the Princess asked with an evil smile as she drove a sharp knife right through the peasant's shoulder blade.

Screaming in agony, the peasant fell to the ground bleeding heavily from his wound while the bride just stood there crying.

 "Men, kill these two!" Before the princess could even finish her sentence, she ran away.
The peasant, confused and now having some energy, looked up only to see the tiger clawing and pouncing on every one of the soldiers. Then, the tiger had its eyes on the princess. Seeing her shake and smelling the fear, the tiger roared then ate her bit by bit.
Seizing the opportunity, both the peasant and his bride hopped on a horse and rode away from the massacre that had fallen upon that land.

It has been a year since the blood bath that happened on the amphitheater. Both husband and bride are living the rest of their lives in peace and tranquility, happy that they were the first to change the tradition.  

I do adore my good friend Montressur, we've been through his dark, damp, and scary grave yard. Now that we are at the end of his catacombs he is doing possibly the best joke of the whole night. I thought it was strange that he kept on giving me more and more wine just so I could get chained up.

Okay, now I'm starting to get a bit worried. It has been a good ten minutes and he still hasn't freed me yet. I mean, I know that we haven't seen eye to eye in the past, but I know he'll release me. All he keeps on doing is giving me a menacing glare and putting up a cement wall to cover the only door. I then asked him about the Amontillado we were supposed to look at and he just continually pointed at the bricks. It's beginning to frighten me that I might not make it out alive tonight.

Well, now I'm convinced that Montressur wants to kill me. I tried to scream for help, but as I did it, Montressur began to scream as well. It was quite strange, like he was sending me a message that we were too deep for anyone to hear us. I'm now trying to get out of here, but these chains are too tight.

Montressur is down to the last brick. I guess it was my fault for listening to him and falling for his trap. If I ever make it out of here I'm going to never make contact or be cheap to others again. I'll be kind and possibly never go into someone's grave ever again. Well, the last brick is up. I guess it will be fun living in solitary confinement.
