Story telling...

One day, in my ELT class, my lecturer told us a story during her lesson. It’s a funny story but it’s really a good story with a moral value in that. 

The story was about medieval story in the time of the great King Arthur that lived a long time ago. It was not the romances, invention or his conquer story but it’s all about a question that being ask to him. What do women really want?

Once upon a time, there lived a legendary leader who’s King Arthur in his Camelot kingdom. At this medieval time, anybody was going out to the town or any place else, should bring their own sword. It’s because the time was a war between the Camelot and the neighbouring kingdom. 

The story begins at one night when he was come back from his lover’s home to his castle. He forgot to bring his sword and when he passes through a black forest in his way back, there was a Black Knight from the enemy’s kingdom. 

He was ambushed by the knight. The knight could have killed him but the king was begging for his life. So, the Black Knight offered him a freedom but with a condition. He must answer an easy question with hard answer, what a woman really wants most?

The King Arthur was surprised to the question and takes a little time to think. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the knight proposition to have an answer by tomorrow’s end. The Black Knight gave him one day to find the answer. Otherwise, he would kill the king. And to be like gentlemen, they will meet again in the black forest to keep their promise. 

When he returned, on his way out from the black forest, he meets an old and ugly woman and she heard the deal between the king and knight. She told the king that she have the answer for the question, but with one condition. The king must marry him or find a husband for her. The king was horrified and smelled like sewage to hear the old woman’s wish. So, he do not agree and left the old woman to go back to his castle.

Tomorrow morning, he called for emergency meeting with all his priests, knights, wise men and even the court jester. He spoke to everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. After that, he told them there was an old woman who live near the black forest knew the answer but need to fulfil her wish first. 

They ask the wishes and the king told them. Nobody speak and silence. But then, the king’s best friend who’s Sir Lancelot the most noble of the knights agrees to sacrifice and save the king’s life. The king was so happy and immediately brings him to the old woman. Hence, the wedding was proclaimed and the old woman answered the Arthur’s question. 

What a woman really wants, she answered…..CHOICE which a woman is to be in charge of her own life. The king was satisfied with the answer and went to meet the black knight to give the answer. The black knight as surprised because the king could answer the question right and he frees the king for his life.

Back to the Sir Lancelot story after his marriage, the honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot finding himself a horrific experience entered the bedroom. But, what a sighted waited him was the most beautiful young lady laid on the bed. 

Sir Lancelot asked her what was happened. The beauty young lady told him that she was spelled by the witch and only marriage can break the spell. However, she only can be a beauty young lady on a half day. So, she asked Sir Lancelot which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day or night? He sight and think for a moment. If he has a beautiful wife at the day, he can show off to his friends but with an old woman at night. Or, he choose a hideous pretty lady at a daytime and enjoy a wondrous intimate moments to a young beautiful lady at night.

What was Sir Lancelot chose is…..make your CHOICE. He asked his wife to choose her own whether she wants to be what on herself. When she heard her husband’s wish, 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. After that, they lived happily ever after.

The moral of the story, let a women have their own way otherwise; things are going to get ugly.
