A Great Story

Young  Oba  Akenzua  was  ambushed  and  imprisoned  by  the  monarch  of a neighbouring  kingdom. The monarch could have killed him, but was moved  by

Akenzua’s  youthful  happiness.   So he offered him freedom, as long as  hecould answer a very difficult question.

Akenzua would have a year  to figure out the answer; if, after a year, he still had no answer, he  would be killed.  The question was:  What do women really want?  Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and, to  young  Akenzua, 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.

 

Quest

 He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess,  the poms, 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 witch

The  last day of the year arrived and Akenzua 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 Omorogbe, the most

handsome of the chiefs and Akenzua’s closest friend!

Young Akenzua was  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.   Omorogbe, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Akenzua.  He told him  that  nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Akenzua’s life and the  preservation

of the Round Table.  Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered Akenzua’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 Akenzua’s life would be spared.  And so it went.  The neighbouring monarch

spared Akenzua’s life and granted him total freedom.

Wedding What a wedding  Omorogbe and the witch had! Akenzua was torn between relief and anguish.  Omorogbe 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:

 

Omorogbe, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered  the bedroom.

What a sight awaited!  The most beautiful woman he’d  ever seen lay before him!  Omorogbe 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.

 

Question

 

Which would he want her to be during the day and which during the  night?

What a cruel question?  Omorogbe began to think of his  predicament: During the day a beautiful woman to show off to his  friend, 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 Omorogbe chose follows below, but don’t read until

you’ve made your own choice.

 

Answer

  Noble Omorogbe 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 THE ANGEL. THE WITCH IN HER WILL ONLY COME OUT IF  PROVOKED.

 

 

MEN LOVE AND RESPECT UR WOMEN, U WILL BE PLEASED
