I have read an awesome book called The Iron Ring by Lloyd Alexander. This story was about an Indian prince named Tamar who wagered his kingdom. At first luck was on his side, but when the other player opened the cup, Tamar had lost not only the game but the kingdom. When the king found out, he was not pleased with Tamar’s actions. Feeling ashamed, Tamar told the king that he would go to the other world to prove his honor to the king. Escorted by Darshan, Tamar left his city to get his honor back. When they got to the other world, Tamar was dropped off to start his journey. He met a hunter on the way. After the conversation they had, the day got very strange. He met a talking monkey and he met many kings. When his travel was nearly complete he noticed a sinister king named Jaya. Jaya asked him to play a game. If he wins the game he wins his honor but if he loses he shall die. This is my favorite part. Will Tamar win Jaya’s game? Read it if you want to know the spectacular ending to this book.
