TRUE MOTHER-IN-LAW
Two women came before wise King Solomon, dragging
between them 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 argued before the King until he called
for silence.
"Bring me my biggest sword," said Solomon,
"and I shall cut the young attorney 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 innocent blood. Let the other woman's daughter marry him."
The wise king did not hesitate a moment. "The
attorney must marry the first lady's daughter," he proclaimed.
"But she was willing to cut him in two!"
exclaimed the king's advisor.
"Indeed," said wise King Solomon. "That
shows she is the TRUE mother-in-law." |
