Once two women had a quarrel over a small baby. Each claimed that she was the mother of the child. They were brought before a judge.
The judge listened to both the women. It was really a difficult case to decide. The judge was confused.
After thinking deeply, the judge found out the solution. He ordered one of his men, "Cut the child into two parts, and let each woman have one part."
On hearing the judge's order, one of the women screamed out loudly and said, "Mercy, Your Lordship. Let that woman have the baby. Let the poor thing live. I give up my claim to it." The other woman remained quiet.
The wise judge recognized the real mother. He gave the baby to the woman who ready to give up her claim. He sent the other to jail.
