The next day the two women had a quarrel.
“No,this is my child,the dead one is 5 ,”said one woman.
“No,this is mine.”said the other woman.What should they do?So they went 6 the clever man.
When the man heard the story,he said,“Please 7 me a knife and cut the child 8 two.Then give every woman one half.”
“That’s very fair(公正的).What a clever man!”said the dead baby’s mother.“Give her my child.Let it 9 hers,but don’t cut the child,”cried the other woman in tears.
The man pointed to the woman in 10 and said,“Give the child to her.For she is its mother.”
