The honest truth about what women really 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 youthful happiness.

So he offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question.

Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer; if he had no answer after the year, he would be killed.

The question was: “What do women really want?”

Such a question would baffle even the most knowledgeable of men, and to a young Arthur, it seemed to be an impossible task.

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 ask everybody: the princesses, the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men, even the court jester.

Even after he spoke with everyone, not 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 to the riddle.

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 choice but to consult 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, and often made obscene noises.

He had never run across such a repugnant creature.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and for Gawain to endure such a huge 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 old 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 the king would not slay Arthur.

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 passed gas, and made everyone present feel uncomfortable.

The wedding night finally arrived: Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom.

What a surprising sight awaited!

The most beautiful woman he’d ever seen lay before him!

Gawain was astounded and asked her what happened.

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her, for one half of 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 friends, 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?

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, ugly, smart or dumb.

Underneath it all, she’s still a witch.
