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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the
answer. <br>
<br>
But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom
for the exorbitant prices she charged. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of
the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible
burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. <br>
<br>
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the
preservation of the Round Table. <br>
<br>
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question
thus: <br>
<br>
What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own
life. <br>
<br>
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great
truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. <br>
<br>
And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and
Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding. <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night? <br>
<br>
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? <br>
<br>
What would YOU do? <br>
<br>
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down
below. OKAY? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Now....what is the moral to this story?</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: black;" _mce_style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: black;"> </span></p>
