2. EXPRESSING ACTIONS AND EVENTS IN THE PAST

READ THIS PASSAGE FROM THE BIBLE !

THE REAL MOTHER

Solomon was the King of Israel. He lived about 3,000 years ago. Everyone came
to King Solomon with problems because he was very wise.
One day two women approached King Solomon. One carried a baby. The first
woman said : “We live in the same house and had our babies three days apart. Her baby
died in the night, and she changed it for mine. This baby is really mine “.
King Solomon turned to the other woman. She said, “No ! That woman is lying.
That’s my baby. The two women started shouting.
King Solomon said, “Stop fighting”. He turned to his guard and said, “Get your
sword and chop the baby in two. Give one part to this woman and the other to that one.
The guard pulled out his sword. As he was about to divide the baby, the first woman
screamed, “Stop ! Give her the baby, but please don’t kill him”.
King Solomon then said, “Now I know the true mother. Give the baby to the
woman who has just spoken”.
