Explanation:

In "The Lady or the Tiger?" a brutal ruler devises an especially imaginative type of discipline. At the point when a squire sets out to cherish the ruler's girl, he's compelled to pick between two entryways: one with a woman behind it, and one with a tiger. His definitive destiny is obscure.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.
