Once upon a time two women quarreled over a child. Each claimed it as her own. Failing to decide the matter between themselves they went to a judge noted for his wisdom. They told the judge about the bone of contention. The judge thought over the dispute for sometime and then gravely said to the executioner, “Cut the child into two halves and give one half to each women.”
No sooner had the judge given his verdict than one of the women cried out to the judge, “Please revoke your judgment, I’m giving up my claim. Give the child to the other women, please.”
The other women kept silent all the time. She seemed satisfied with the verdict. The judge could now make out who the real mother was. He gave away the child to the women who demurred at the judgement.
