Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned
by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch
could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's
youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his
freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult
question. Arthur would have a year to figure out
the answer and, if after a year, he still had no
answer, he would be put to death.
The question?.... What do women really want?
Such a question would perplex even the most
knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an
impossible query. But, since it was better than
death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have
an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll
everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men
and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone,
but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old
witch, for only she would have the answer.
But the price would be high; as the witch was
famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant
prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur
had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed
to answer the question, but he would have to agree
to her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot,
the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and
Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was
hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled
like sewerage, made obscene noises, etc. He had
never encountered such a repugnant creature in all
his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her
and endure such a terrible burden, but Lancelot,
learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice
compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of
the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch
answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered.... is
to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that
the witch had uttered a great truth and that
Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted
Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a
wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot,
steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered
the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most
beautiful woman he had ever seen, lay before him on
the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had
happened.
The beauty replied that since he had been so
kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would
henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half
the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the
day.... or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the
day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends,
but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old
witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch
during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for
him to enjoy wondrous, intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT.... make YOUR
choice before you scroll down below. OKAY?
Have you made up your mind?
Are you sure?
Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch
gave Arthur to his question, said that he would
allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she
would be beautiful all the time because he had
respected her enough to let her be in charge of her
own life.
Now.... what is the moral to this story?
The moral is..... If you don't let a woman
have her own way.... things are going to get ugly.
Truer words were never spoke!!!!!!!!!!!!
