    "The Princess Bride is a damn near perfect movie, and contains one of
    the greatest sword fights of all time, some of the best onscreen
    chemistry of any love story, and a stellar blend of comedy, action, and romance that is hard to find anywhere else. ButrCa letrCOs talk about Buttercup. The worldrCOs most beautiful woman. But also so much more.
    Although she is the titular character (even though most of the action
    centers on stopping the marriage that would make her an actual Princess BriderComore on that in a bit), sherCOs often overlooked in discussions
    about the movie; she rarely gets the recognition she deserves for being
    a well-crafted female character in a male-dominated story."

    The name of the story is "A Sound of Thunder".
    It was written by Ray Bradbury. You're welcome.
