The Prince's Tale

A chapter in the Harry Potter books, you'll have to read all the books to understand it though. Possibly one of the saddest stories ever. SPOILER ALERT: about a poor boy called Severus Snape who fell in love with a girl called Lily Evans when they were eleven years old. They went to Hogwarts and Lily was put in Gryffindor with Snape's yet-to-be lifelong rival, James Potter, while Snape was put in Slytherin. Snape still remained friends with Lily but James was jealous because he also loved Lily. James and his friends bullied Snape until one day Lily tried to make him stop. Snape called her a mudblood out of embarrassment and that ended their friendship. Lily eventually was married to James and they had a son who was the famous Harry Potter, the boy who lived, but then she died and Snape had to kind of keep an eye on Harry when he was at school which was bad for him because he seemed so much like James who he hated with all his life, but then he also seemed so much like Lily who he loved for all his life. That's pretty much a shortened version of it. So, it's a very sad story and it's much more romantic than that Bella Swan girl and the sparkly guy (I can tell so many twilight fans gonna dislike this). Oh well!

Example? No, he's got nothing to do with Harry Potter, he's the guy that sings "You changed the way you kissed me"...

What's he got to do with this?
This is about the prince's tale...

A Sailor's Tale 

A story or tale that is not easily believable or seems far-fetched to some. A Sailor's Tale can only be proven true by evidence, or by being seen. A Sailor's Tale may or may not be a lie, but it also may be the truth.

This definition is derived directly from the tale Moby Dick written by Herman Melville who writes about a giant white whale that attacks ships. To some, this is A Sailor's Tale because some people may or may not believe it. This definition is also derived from the 12 century Norwegian tale of a giant squid called the Kraken that would also attack ships and would sink them and doom the crew.

"... And it was a huge rocket in the sky! I could see it!" Johnny excitedly exclaimed to his friends, finishing his story. But his friends said he was telling A Sailor's Tale and walked away without any further interest. Johnny was sad.

"But Mr. Mathers, my dog ate my homework! I swear" Little Bobby told the teacher. But his teacher didn't believed him and gave him an F and said it was A Sailor's Tale. Little Bobby's brother even tried to explain to the teacher it wasn't a lie, but the teacher didn't believe him either.

"I seen a UFO in the sky yesterday" A local told the audience in the microphone at a community meeting in the local historic board house. But some of them didn't believe him and whispered to each other that he was telling A Sailor's Tale and no one raised their hand to speak about it or to talk on it.

No other further word was spoken about UFO's that night, only community concerns about littering. The man who told the UFO story left early and snuck out of embarrassment while everyone was eyes-front and openly busy talking about the littering situation, not paying attention to him.

The Winter's Tale 

A play written by William Shakespeare circa 1610. Absolutely brilliant, as was the rest of his work. This play deals with Leontes, king of Sicily, who believes (mistakenly) that his wife Hermione is having an affair with his best friend Polixenes, king of Bohemia. Leontes appoints Camillo to poison Polixenes and imprisons Hermione, but Camillo believes in Polixenes' innocence and they leave for Bohemia together. Hermione has a baby while incarcerated (Leontes, naturally, accuses it of being Polixenes') and orders it to be burnt... Read the play if you'd like to know how it ends ;)

The Winter's Tale is what is known as a "problem play" as it has intense psychological drama in the first three acts but in the last two it is fairly comedic and results in a happy ending.

How exactly do you exemplify this?!?! Example: An example of a character in The Winter's Tale is Paulina, Hermione's lady-in-waiting.
