Two women came before wise King Solomon, dragging betweenthem a young man in a three-piece suit.”This young lawyer agreed to marry my daughter,” said one.”No! He agreed to marry MY daughter,” said the other.And so they haggled before the King until he called forsilence.”Bring me my biggest sword,” said Solomon, “and I shall hew the youngattorney in half. Each of you shall receive a half.””Sounds good to me,” said the first lady.But the other woman said, “Oh Sire, do not spill innocentblood. Let the other woman’s daughter marry him.”The wise king did not hesitate a moment. “The attorney mustmarry the first lady’s daughter,” he proclaimed.”But she was willing to hew him in two!” exclaimed theking’s court.”Indeed,” said wise King Solomon. “That shows she is theTRUE mother-in-law.”
