Young King Arthur was ambushed & imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. He could have killed him but was moved by Arthur’s youth & 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 & if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.
The question?
What do women really want?
He accepted the monarch’s proposition & returned to his kingdom & began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men & 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.
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 & Arthur’s closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked & hideous. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her & endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur & said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur’s life & the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed & the witch answered Arthur’s question thus: What a woman really wants – “Is to be in charge of her own life!”
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth & that Arthur’s life would be spared. And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom & Lancelot & the witch had a wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached & 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. 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 & 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?
Noble 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.
Respect your woman, let her make her choices, let her be in charge of her own life & she will forever remain beautiful for you.
Let’s respect our women & Stay Blessed forever!
