It is an interesting story.
A king went to hunt, but he fell to the valley carelessly.
When no one could help him, a dragon appeared.
The dragon told the king, “If you could answer the question which the most difficult in the world,”, I would help you.
The dragon said the question was “What do women really want?”
The king could not think out the answer, but he did not want to die.
Therefore, the king came up with a give-and-take condition.
The king told the dragon, “Could you help me first, I could give you my soul in pledge, and after seven days I would come back, giving you the right answer.”
The dragon agreed, saying “If you did not come back, you would die.”
After the king returned his country, he asked all people.
However, nobody knew the answer. At this time, a farmer said, “There is a knowledgeable witch out of the town, maybe she knew the answer.
On hearing the news, the king sent the handsome captain to bring the witch.


The witch came to the palace, telling the king, “I knew the answer, but I had a condition. If I succeeded in saving you, I wanted to the handsome captain to marry me.”
The king promised the witch without the second thought.
Although the captain was reluctant to marry an old and ugly witch, in order to save king’s life, he had no choice.
After getting the promise from the king, the witch said the answer was “Women really want is they can decide the way of life by themselves.”
The king brought the answer to find the dragon, succeeding in taking back the soul.
When the king came back, they started to prepare the wedding of the captain and witch.


On the wedding, the old and ugly witch matched the young and handsome captain.
What’s worse, the witch was constant eating, drinking, and even farting loudly.
However, the captain just held his anger back, he promised the witch.
Finally, they entered the bridal chamber. When the witch came from the bathroom, the captain was surprised.
Because the old and ugly witch turned into the young and pretty woman.
The witch told the captain, “Because you kept the promise, you did not be angry at me in the wedding. Hence, I decided to become a pretty woman to accompany you at 12 hours in every day. And you could decide I became pretty woman in daytime or at night. But as soon as you decided, you could not change anymore.”
The captain was caught in a dilemma; he thought if she became pretty woman in the daytime, I had to sleep with an old and ugly woman. But if she turned into pretty woman at night, I could not bring her out in the daytime, everyone would laugh at me.
In the end, the captain was vexed, he told the witch, “You could decide what you want to be, I would not interfere you.”
After hearing these words, the witch was overjoyed.
The witch said, “Due to your toleration and wisdom, I decided to become an elegant and pretty woman at 24hours in every day to accompany you.
