Sacrifice of a real Mother

Two women quarreled over a child. One of the two said that the child was hers while the other claimed that she was the mother of the child. Finally they went to the king David. The king listened to them. He assured them of justice. Then the king began to ponder over the duel claim to the child. But he could not reach the decision as to what to do. In the meantime the prince came to learn about the matter. The prince was Solomon. He came forward to help the king. But the king could not rely on him because he was still a boy. Anyway, Prince Solomon listened to the quarreling women. Then he said, “ As both of you are claiming the boy, I shall divide the boy into two parts, to give you.” Saying this, he aimed his sword at the boy. Just at that time one of the woman cried out. She gave up her claim and begged for the boy’s life. But the other woman did not say anything. The prince could realize very well who the real mother was. He handed over the boy to the woman who cried out. He also ordered the guards to detain the other woman.
