A young mother was once washing some clothes at awell. Her little son was sleeping besides her. Another young women came there. She picked the child up and run away. When the young mother saw her sweet son missing, she ran after her. Before long, she cought hold of her, cursed her for her meanness and demanded her son back. But she refused to do so, and said that the son was her own. Before long they began to quarrel with each other.
Many people gathered there, but they failed to find the real mother. They took them bothto the court of the judge. He gave them a patient hearing and thought over the matter for a while. Then he said to one of his officers. "Bring me my sword. I shall cut the boy into two, so that each may have a piece". One of the ladies began to weep at once. She requested the judge not to kill the boy, but give him to the other. As for the second, she said,"No!,this can not be.The boy must be cut into two pieces,so that I may have the one, and she, the other".When the judge heard these words, he ordered the boyto be given over to the first, and sent the second to the jail for child lifting.
