True 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 youthful happiness. 
So he offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a 
very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure
out the answer; if, after a year, he still had no answer, 
he would be killed.  

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. Well, 
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 everybody: 
the princess, the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men, 
the court jester. In all, he spoke with everyone but no one
could give him a satisfactory answer.  What most people did
tell him was to consult the old witch, as only she would 
know the answer. The price would be high, since the witch 
was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices
she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur 
had no alternative but to talk to the witch.

She agreed to answer his question, but he'd have to accept
her price first: The old witch wanted to marry Gawain, the 
most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's 
closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified: she was hunchbacked and awfully
hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage water, 
often made obscene noises...  

He had never run across such a repugnant creature.  He 
refused to force his friend to marry her and have to endure
such a burden.

Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. 
He told him that nothing was too big of a sacrifice 
compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round 
Table.

Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered
Arthur's question: "What a woman really wants is to be able to be in charge of her own life."

Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great 
truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it 
went. The neighboring monarch spared Arthur's life and 
granted him total freedom.  What a wedding Gawain and the 
witch had! Arthur was torn between relief and anguish. 
Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous.  The old
witch put her worst manners on display. She ate with her 
hands, belched and farted, and made everyone uncomfortable.
The wedding night approached: Gawain, steeling himself for 
a horrific night, entered the bedroom. What a sight awaited! 
The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before him! 
Gawain was astounded and asked what had happened.

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her 
(when she'd been a witch), half the time she would be her 
horrible, deformed self, and the other half, she would be 
her beautiful maiden self.  Which would he want her to be 
during the day and which during the night?  What a cruel 
question?

Gawain began to think of his predicament:

During the day a beautiful woman to show off to his friend,
but at night, in the privacy of his home, an old spooky 
witch? Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, 
but by night a beautiful woman to enjoy many intimate 
moments?






What would you do?








What Gawain chose follows below, but don't read until you've
made your own choice.












Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for 
herself.  Upon hearing this, she announced that she would 
be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her 
and had let her be in charge of her own life.  What is 
the moral of this story? 







THE MORAL IS THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR WOMAN IS PRETTY
OR UGLY, SMART OR DUMB UNDERNEATH IT ALL, SHE'S STILL A 
WITCH !!!!
