    I will probably get in trouble for this one! :D

    King Arthur and 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 e
    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 ques tion 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?

    What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down
    below. OKAY? x x x x x x x x 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? Scroll down. x x x x x x x x The moral is.....If you don't let a woman have her own way....Things are going to get ugly!

    At least Lancelot learned that lesson at a young age, many men take years to finally figure it out and some just never learn. ;)
