(To women) Please take time to ponder...
(To men) Just enjoy the story......
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 was: 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 first he would have to
agree to her price.
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 hunch-backed 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, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with
Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's
life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was
proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: 'What a woman
really wants?'
She said, "A woman wants 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 was
sitting by 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 become her horrible and
deformed self only half the time, and be the beautiful maiden the other
half.
'Which would you prefer?' She asked him. 'Beautiful during the day or at night?'
Lancelot
pondered the predicament. During the day he could have 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
moments with?
(If you are a man reading this...) What would YOUR choice be?
(If you are a woman reading this...) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?
And Lancelot's choice is given below...
BUT... please make YOUR choice first before you scroll down below...
OKAY?
Knowing
the answer the witch gave to Arthur for his question, Sir 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...
1) There is 'witch' in every woman, no matter how beautiful she is !
2) If you don't let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly !
So, be careful how you treat a woman and always remember: IT IS EITHER 'HER WAY' OR IT IS 'NO WAY' !!
What do women really want? This is quite interesting
