"WHAT DO WOMEN REALLY WANT?"

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a
neighboring Celtic 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 put to death.

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 a sewer, often made obscene noises, and had discolored pockmarked skin. 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.

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 and generally made everyone very uncomfortable. The wedding night approached: Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom. What a sight a waited!
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.

May the peace prevails between the couples......."Amen"

I like that story.....And its probably true,to be in charge of our own life,among other things.....Because we are all different so we want different things.

Money. That's what I hear anyway. hahaha.

thats a nice one...but this is a question which can get all women thinking:)

I like that story!
