In a Zen story, tigers pursue a man to the edge of a cliff. Grasping a root that extends from the cliff face, he climbs down toward the river below and holds on. He'll either plunge to his death or the tigers will shred him.
He looks up at the sky, and notices a crevice that revals a plump and juicy berry. He plucks and eats it, the juice dripping from his chin.
So, what if there's no juicy berry?
Write a story of choices in a challenging moment?
Consider beyond taming tigers, meeting angels, or jumping into a hot air balloon as ways to create a solution to the above.
Craft your own "teaching tale." Keep CAW CAW in mind!
