….and deserve, of course. ~Don

\> Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch [a queen?] 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  
\> every one, 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 Arthu r '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 da y….or night?  
\>  
\> Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman  
\> to show off to his friends, but at night, in t he 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. BUT….make YOUR choice before you  
\> scroll down below. OKAY?

\> 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
