The Moral of the Story is...

Read one blog entry from a friend’s friend blog (fi)… the story of “King Arthur and the Witch”. It was one interesting story! (with many twists!) … check it out =P

King Arthur & The Witch

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 beau tiful 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?...



What Lancelot chose is below.

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.
Now....what is the moral to this story?



The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have
her own way....
Things are going to get ugly
