Ø King Arthur and the Witch
>
>
>
> 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 sewerage, 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 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?
