(To men)
Please take time to ponder. 😕

(To women)
Just enjoy the story. 😋

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. "BEUATIFUL 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 a '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"!!!

That is good. But it's a give and take thing a relationship. You can't take my music or my family away from me because they are all I am. If you want me to them up for you, then you can get lost. If you can't accept who I am than I don't want to be with you. If you can, then we can look forward to a long and happy life with me.
BrandanDR
haha, thankyou. And trust me I do.

Hi-5 to that!! :)
BrandanDR
Yeah!

Such a well illustrated, deep, and amazing lesson. Thank you very much for sharing such. Indeed, something that men should ponder about.
I truly believe that it is best to let each one own his/her life entirely and make it better by finding good ways to share what we can and never interfere with each other. There is no doubt that sacrifices will be there, but should always be voluntary and by proper convictions.
Great hugs to you good friend.

There is some truth in the story, but my way or the highway doesn't always work for couples.
Santi96 · 26-30
Yeah, but one thing(way) always works with couples, i.e. treating her the right way! ;)
oldjack5
You're right about that, and that goes both ways.
Santi96 · 26-30

This story is very like a story I read in a lit class. You must have started with that story. I can't remember the title, though.
Santi96 · 26-30
Well, King Arthur is a legendary king, so many stories emanate from his period, most of which are debatable. :) Have you seen the TV series 'Adventures of Merlin'?

Those morals are wrong. I think the moral: thank f*ck for friends best suits this fable.
