If that ain't the truth, I don't know what is.
Great story Nico...

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 �would have the answer.
But the price would be high; as the witch �was famous throughout the king dom fo r 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 farty�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 charg e of �her own life�, and eveybody elses too�.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the �witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. �
< B>And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom �and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding. [/b]
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? < BR>
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 w ould 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?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
�
�
Scroll �down
The �moral is.....
If �you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are �going to get���ugly!
