*Woman Decision*

*This is a very interesting story and a lesson for men.*

*(To men) Please take time to ponder.* 

*(To women) Just enjoy the story.* 

*Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom.*

*The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur 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 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. 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 Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but first he would have to agree to her price.*

*The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, and Arthur's closest friend. Young Arthur was horrified.*

*She was hunch-backed 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 Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered.*

*Arthur's question thus:* 

*"What a woman really wants?"*

*She said, "A woman wants to be in charge of her own life."*

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

*The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him.*

*The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was sitting by the bed.*

*The astounded Lancelot 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 become her horrible and deformed self only half the time, and be the beautiful maiden the other half.*

*"Which would you prefer?" She asked him. "BEAUTIFUL during the DAY... OR at NIGHT?"*

*Lancelot pondered the predicament.*

*During the day, he could have 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 for him to enjoy wondrous moments with?*

*(If you are a man reading this) What would YOUR choice be?*

*(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?*

*And Lancelot's choice is given below...*

*BUT, please make YOUR choice first before you scroll down below!*

*OKAY?*

*Knowing the answer the witch gave to Arthur for his question, Sir Lancelot 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*  

*The moral is...*

1. *There is a 'witch' in every woman, no matter how beautiful she is. It's how a man manages it*

2. *If you let a woman decide on her own she gives u d best. but if u force her with ur decisions she becomes a witch.*

*Hmmmm* 

*What do you think ?*

*So, be careful how you treat a woman, especially your wife; so your prayers may be answered!!!*

*If you have enjoyed it forward to your friends*

As a small child , I was very *selfish*, always grabbing the best for myself.

Slowly, everyone left me and I had no friends. I *didn’t think* it was my fault and I criticized others.

But my father gave me 3 sentences to *help* me in life.

One day, my father cooked 2 bowls of noodles and put them on the table. One had an egg on top while the other bowl had none on top.

Then he asked me to choose a bowl of noodles.

Because eggs were hard to come by those days, I chose the bowl with egg!

I was congratulating myself on my wise choice/decision and decided to wallop the egg. To my surprise, I saw that my father's bowl of noodles had *two* eggs at the bottom beneath the noodles! 

With much regret, I scolded myself for being too hasty in my decision.

My father smiled and *taught* me to remember that *what your eyes see may not be true*.

He added that, *If you make a habit of taking advantage of people, you will end up losing*.

The next day, my father again cooked 2 bowls of noodles: one bowl with an egg on top and the other bowl with no egg on top.

Again, he asked to choose the bowl I wanted.

This time, I felt smarter so I chose the bowl without any egg on top.

Hmmmmmm to my surprise, there was not even a single egg at the bottom of the bowl!

Again, my father smiled and said to me, *My child, you must not always rely on experiences because sometimes, life can cheat you or play tricks on you*.

Never be too annoyed or sad, with situations, *just treat experience as learning a lesson that cannot be gotten from any textbooks*.

The third day, my father again cooked 2 bowls of noodles, one bowl with an egg on top and the other with no egg on top.

 He asked me to choose the bowl I wanted.

But this time, I told my father, *Dad, you choose first. You are the head of the family and you contribute the most to the family*.

My father was very happy and he chose for me.

He chose the bowl with one egg on top. But as I ate my bowl of noodles, to my surprise, there were *two* eggs at the bottom of the bowl.

My father smiled at me with love in his eyes. He said, *my child, you must remember that when you think for the good of others, good things will always naturally happen to you*.

I always remember these 3 sentences of my father.
