Lets swap things!
Once upon a time there was a man named Gregory who was in love with a woman named Abigail. Abigail lived on the shore of a river. The river, which separated the two lovers, was teeming with woman-eating alligators. Gregory wanted to cross the river to be with Abigail . Unfortunately, the bridge had been washed out. So he went to ask Elizabeth, a riverboat captain, to take him across. She said she would be glad to if he would consent to sleep with her preceding the voyage. He promptly refused and went to his father Sinbad to explain his plight. Sinbad did not want to be involved in his son's situation at all in the situation and turned him away.
Gregory felt his only alternative was to accept Elizabeth's terms. After he slept with her, Elizabeth fulfilled her promise to Gregory and delivered him into the arms of Abigail.
When he told Abigail that he had to sleep with Elizabeth in order to cross the river and be with her, Abigail cast him aside with disdain. Heartsick and dejected, Gregory turned to Abigail's friend Jane with his tale of woe. Jane, feeling compassion for Gregory, sought out Abigail and beat her brutally. Gregory was overjoyed at the sight of Abigail getting her due. As the sun set on the horizon, Gregory laughed at Abigail as he and Jane ran off together to form a new relationship.

Genders swapped. Read it again as a refresher and to see how things change. Does your order change at all? What feels more wrong or less wrong? DISCUSS |
Gregory is an idiot, because he could just swim. This also means, he just wanted an excuse to have sex with Elizabeth, so Abigail is better off without him anyways. |
