Hey Rose,
Isn't this the truth..........?
What do women want?
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom.
The monarch could have killed him, but he wanted to give him a sporting chance.
So the monarch offered him freedom, as long as he could figure out the answer to this mystery riddle.
King 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 most definately did.
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 old hags and even some other men.
He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch in the hills.
The price would be high; the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged for her services.
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 Gawain, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's best friend.
Young Arthur was horrified: she was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises and was horribly rude.
He had never encountered such a hideous creature before.
He refused to force his friend to marry her, and have to endure such a burden.
Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke to King Arthur.
He told him that nothing was too big a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and Hence, 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 was saved.
The neighboring monarch granted Arthur total freedom.
Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous.
The old witch put her worst manners on display, and generally made everyone very uncomfortable.
Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bed chamber.
The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay there on the bed.
The astounded Gawain asked who she was and where was his wife the witch.
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?
What a dilemma he faced. Gawain pondered his decision. During the day a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his home, and old
Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman with whom to enjoy many intimate moments?
What Gawain chose follows below, but don't read until you've made your own choice.

Noble Gawain 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 ugly! |
