I got this from you guest it?

King Arthur and the Witch:

.

.Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a

.neighbouring 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 neighbouring 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?

.

.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?

.Things are going to get ugly
