Subject: King Arthur and the Witch
King Arthur and the Witch:
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 onfiltered=
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?=20
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you =
scroll down below. OKAY?
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?=20
scroll down
=20
=20
keep scrolling=20
=20
The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly.
