The Two Women Scrambled for a Baby

Once there were two women who had respective babies. The baby of one woman had
died and the baby of another woman was still alive. One day, the woman with the live baby held
her baby in the arm to bathe it. Coincidentally, the woman whose baby had already been dead
came and walking and said. “Hi friend, your baby exactly resembles mine. Can I hold and kiss
yours little?” The woman with the baby handed her baby to that woman, who kissed and
breastfed the baby and walked to her home with the baby being held in her hands. The woman
who was the mother called out: “Hey,where are you taking my baby?” The woman whose baby
had died replied: It is my baby. Why do you say it is yours?

The two women started quarrelling about the baby and they finally went to the court
together. The woman who took the other woman’s baby told the judge: Your honour, when I was
holding my bay, this woman saw it walked after me, claiming that the baby was hers. She asked
me allow her to hold and kiss my baby and I let her do it, but she kissed and breastfed my baby
and walked to her home with my kid, so please help solve the problem for me, your honour. The
judge spent three days and nights solving the case, but could not settle it, so he took the two
women to see the king and told the king what had happened. Out of his insight and extra
ordinary wisdom, the king was able to see through the problem quickly, so he ordered the kid to
be placed in the middle and told the two women to try to scramble for it.

The king said to the two women. The kid will belong to the one who can scramble for it
first.Upon hearing that, the two women started scrambling for the baby. The woman whose baby
had been dead quickly snatched the baby’s leg mercilessly without being afraid of tearing its arm
and legs. As the woman who was the baby’s real mother, she was very angry with the impostor,
but she pitied the baby so much that she tried to hold the baby gently. However, when she saw
the impostor doing her utmost to get the baby without caring about breaking the kid’s bones, the
woman who was the real mother let go of her poor kid and allowed the impostor to get it easily.

The king then said: the woman who let go of the baby and allowed the other woman to
get the baby was the real mother as she did it out of pitying the kid. And the other woman is not
the real mother because she did not show any mercy to the kid and tried to get the kid, by hook
and by crook. After saying that, the king ordered the baby returned to the real mother and the
woman who was the impostor to be severely punished so that she would not dare to do that
again.
