Long, long ago, there was a king. Solomon was his name. He was very clever.
In his country, there were two women. They lived in the same house and each had a child.
One night, one of the babies died. The dead baby’s mother took the other woman’s baby, and put it in her own bed.
The next morning , they had a quarrel.
“No, this is my baby!” The dead is yours!”
Each one wanted the living baby. So they went to see King Solomon.
“Bring me a knife, cut the child into two and five each woman one half.” said the King.
“Oh. Your Majesty! Give her my baby. Please don’t kill my baby!”
Then King Solomon pointed to the woman in teas and said, “Give the baby to her. She is the mother.”
聪明的国王所罗门
很久很久之前，有一位国王，他的名字叫所罗门，他非常聪明。
在他的国家里，有两位妇女，她们住在同一间房子里。各有一个婴儿。
一天夜里，其中一个婴儿死了。他的妈妈抱另一位妇女的小孩，把他放在自己的床上。
第二天早上，他们发生了争吵。
“不，这是我的孩子!这个死的是你的!”
他们都想要这个活着的孩子，于是她们去见所罗门国王。
“给我拿把刀来，把这个孩子切成两半，没人一半。”国王判决道。
“哦，陛下，把我的孩子给她吧。请不要杀了我的孩子!”一位母亲哭喊道。
于是所罗门指着流泪的妇女说：“把孩子给她，她是真正的母亲。”
