Solomon's Decision

A Wise Choice...


Long ago
there lived
two women
with two babies.

During the night
one child dies
and the other baby

occurs... 
who is the baby's
real mother?

The women
seek out the King
who listens and decides
to cut the baby in half.

One woman cries out no. 
Give the baby to the other woman. 
The other woman says ok. 
Do it. 


The King gives the baby
to the woman who was willing
to give up her son
so he could live.

She was the real mother...
