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 would YOU do?

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.
