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 sewage, 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?
Noble
Lancelot 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?

moral is.....
If
you don't let a woman have her own
way....
Things
are going to get ugly.
