What Do Women Want?

Ali - Admin

Young King Steven was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Steven’s youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Steven 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 Steven, 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 kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. 

The last day of the year arrived and Steven 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 Jack, the most handsome man in the country and Steven’s closest friend! 

Young Steven was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene 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 Jack, learning of the proposal, spoke with Steven. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Steven’s life. 

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Steven’s question thus: “What a woman really wants, she answered…...is to be in charge of her own life.”

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Steven’s life would be spared. And so it was, the neighbouring monarch granted Steven his freedom and Jack and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Jack, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was in his room. The astounded Jack 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? 

Jack 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 with him?

What would YOU do?

What Jack chose is below.

BUT….make YOUR choice before you scrolls down below.

OKAY?

Noble Jack said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would 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?*

The moral is…..

If you don’t let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly.
