What Women Want

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 was: 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 through out 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 hunch-backed 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, having learnt of the
proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice
compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a
wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered. Arthur's question thus:
"What a woman really wants?"

She said, "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 and deformed self only
half the time. And the beautiful maiden the other half. "Which would you
prefer? She asked him.
"Beautiful during the day .... or at night?" Lancelot pondered the
predicament.

During the day he could have 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 with?

Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his question,
he 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.
