Performers came and put on a King Arthur play at our school. The play was very funny!
They told the story of how King Arthur came to be king by pulling a sword out of a stone. Once Arthur was king he was threatened that Sir Joure would kill him if Arthur could not figure out a riddle. The riddle was "What do women want the most?" The actors surveyed the women in the crowd and they got lots of answers! Some women wanted money, others wanted Wiis or horses, and still others wanted ice-cream or chocolate.
King Arthur did not know what to do. He met an old and ugly woman named Dame Ragnelle who told him that what women want most is sovereignty, which means the ability to make their own decisions. That was it! That was the answer to the riddle!
As a reward, Dame Ragnelle asked to marry the handsome Sir Gawain...Gawain wasn't very happy about this plan but he married her to help the king and she ended up turning in to a beautiful princess!
