I am the mother of this baby.”The other woman screamed, “No, this one is mine.” They started arguing. The king got an idea. The wise King said, “Bring me a sword.” The sword was brought.The King then said, “Cut the child with the sword and divide it into two pieces. Give one piece to each woman.” Hearing the King’s order, one of the women started crying and said, “Please do not do that Lord, the baby will die. Give the child to her but do not kill him.” whereas the other said, “Okay, that is good. This way no one will get the baby.” The King at that very moment took his order back and gave the baby to the first woman.
