One day, the wise King Solomon was approached by two women arguing over a
baby. Each claimed the child was hers. Unable to judge, King Solomon
thought up a plan - he offered to cut the baby in half, giving half to
the one and half to the other.
The first women agreed with the King: "Let the baby be neither mine nor
hers, but divide it. If I can't have the child", she cried, "she can't
have it either". The second women pleaded with Solomon not to hurt the
child. "Give her the baby. I'd rather lose the child that see it slain".
Solomon knew immediately that this was the rightful mother. He returned the baby to her.
