King Arthur's Riddle

[Kathryn41 3,205]

King Arthur

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 mar ry 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?

Scroll down

The moral is.....

If you don't let a woman have her own way....

Things are going to get ugly

Most women want to do what will make their man happy if only he will give her the choice to do so! I liked that story
