Young King Arthur

[Gerald]

Subject: Young King Arthur



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 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, 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 Lancelot chose
is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below. OKAY?

What would YOU do? And the answer,

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. So what have you learned from this, what is the moral to this story?
