A Knight at Crossroads. In many Russian folk-tales there is such an episode when a traveling vityaz (knight) at the crossroads meets a rock with a not-very-much-inspiring choice:
If you go to the right – you'll loose your horse; If you go to the left – you'll loose your life; If you go forwards – you'll loose both… Or a variation of these three.
