In the story "The Princess and the Puma," O. Henry tells the story of a woman called Josefa, a man called Givens, and their encounter with a puma. In the story, O. Henry draws on several themes, events and characters from myths and other traditional stories.

For example, O. Henry draws on the theme of love, as he shows how far the two people are willing to go with their lies and their tales in order to protect their image in front of the person they love.

O. Henry also draws on an event common in myths, which is the fight between hero and beast. However, instead of the hero of this story succeeding, he is saved by a woman. This is a new take on a traditional subject.

Finally, O. Henry draws upon characters such as princesses, knights and lions that come from traditional stories and applies them in a modern Mexican setting.

1. The meaning of the word tempers is to exercise control over. If you take a look at a dictionary, and search for the verb to temper there, you will see that its archaic usage was to denote that somebody has power over somebody else.
2. The meaning of the word suppliant is <span>a person who respectfully asks for something from someone more powerful. A suppliant is a person who very humbly seeks for help from someone in authority. </span>
