Gawain, 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 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: 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 as 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 had 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 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?

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, UNDERNEATH IT ALL, SHE'S STILL A WITCH
