WHAT DO WOMEN REALLY WANT
Added on: 12th May 2015
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned
by the monarch of a neighbouring 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 neighbouring 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 beau 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. 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?
The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way...
Things are going to get ugly.
