The Clever King Solomon 聰明的國王所羅門
Long long ago, there was a king. Solomon was his name. He was very clever.
很久很久之前，有一位國王，他的名字叫所羅門，他非常聰明。
In his country, there were two women. They lived in the same house and each had a child.
在他的國家裡，有兩位婦女，她們住在同一間房子裡。各有一個嬰兒。
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.
一天夜裡，其中一個嬰兒死了。他的媽媽抱另一位婦女的小孩，把他放在自己的床上。
Next morning, they had a quarrel.
第二天早上，他們發生了爭吵。
“No, this is my baby! The dead is yours!”
“不，這是我的孩子！那個死的是你的！”
Each one wanted the living baby. So they went to see King Solomon.
他們都想要這個活著的孩子，於是她們去見所羅門國王。
“Bring me a knife, cut the child into two and give each woman one half.” said the King.
“給我拿把刀來，把這個孩子切成兩半，沒人一半。”國王判決道。
“Oh. Your Majesty! Give her my baby. Please don’t kill my baby!”
“哦，陛下，把我的孩子給她吧。請不要殺了我的孩子！”一位母親哭喊道。
Then King Solomon pointed to the woman in tears and said, “Give the baby to her. She is the mother.”
於是所羅門指著流淚的婦女說：“把孩子給她，她是真正的母親。”
