Wise lesson for all men to learn
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 freedom, as long as he
could answer a very difficult question. Arthur
would have a year to figure out the answer; 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
everybody: the princess, the prostitutes, the priests,
the wise men, and 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. Only
she would know the answer. The price would be high;
the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the
exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no
alternative but to talk to the witch. She agreed to
answer the question, but he'd have to accept her
price first: The old witch wanted to marry him.
Young Arthur was horrified: She was hunchbacked and
hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like ! sewage, and
made obscene noises. He had never encountered such a
repugnant creature.
Finally, having no real choice, he agreed. Their
wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered
Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants is
to be in charge of her own life. Everyone 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 total freedom.
What a wedding Arthur and the witch had! Arthur was
torn between relief and anguish. He was proper as
always, gentle, and courteous. The old witch put her
worst manners on display, and generally made everyone
! very uncomfortable.
The hour approached. Arthur, steeling himself for a
horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But what a
sight awaited him! The most beautiful woman he'd ever
seen lay before him! The astounded Arthur asked what
had happened. The beauty replied that since he had
been so kind to her when she'd appeared as a witch,
she would henceforth be her horrible, deformed self
half the time, and the other half she would be her
beautiful maiden self.
Which would he want her to be during the day, and which
during the night?
What a cruel question! Arthur pondered his
predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to
show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy
of his home, an old witch? Or would he prefer having
by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman
with whom to enjoy many intimate moments?
What would you do?
What Arthur chose follows below......but don't read
until you've made your own choice.......
Stop! MAKE YOUR CHOICE, Then scroll down BELOW
Noble Arthur replied that he would let her choose for
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.
What is the moral of this story?
The moral is:
If your woman doesn't get her own way,
things are going to get uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
