The Twenty-Six Malignant Gates, also known as the nursery rhyme or cautionary tale in the book "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan, is said to contain dangerous and harmful things that children should avoid. However, the actual contents of the Twenty-Six Malignant Gates are not explicitly mentioned in the book. It is left to the reader's imagination, leaving the nature of the gates and what they contain open-ended.
The Twenty Six Malignant Gates epigraph is based on stories people have told for many years.
Chance that A told the truth: 0.8 (80%) Chance that B told the truth: 0.75 (75%) Chance that A told a lie: 1 - 0.8 = 0.2 (20%) Chance that B told a lie: 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 (25%) Chance that both A and B told a lie: 0.2 * 0.25 = 0.05 (5%) Chance that both A and B told the truth: 0.8 * 0.75 = 0.6 (60%) Chance that A told a lie and B told the truth: 0.2 * 0.75 = 0.15 (15%) Chance that A told the truth and B told a lie: 0.8 * 0.25 = 0.2 (20%)
Because the first person that told the story passed it on to other people and the other people passed it on and maybe the same people that were told the story told it to their children and maybe forgot some of it, so made up some of the story.
