What a woman really wants?

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 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 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 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
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
remember:
IT IS EITHER "HER WAY"
OR IT IS (NO WAY) .
