came to him, each one holding onto the
leg of a baby and nearly pulling it in
two, and both claiming it, and King
Solomon wasn't feeling right good and
he said: why couldn't the brat been
twins and stopped all this bother? And
then he called for his sword, and was
going to chop the brat in two and give
each piece oft. When the one who
was the real mother said: Stop Solo
mon, stay thy hand, let the old hog
have it, If 1 can't have whole baby
don't want any, Then Solomon told
her to take the baby and go home and
wash its face, for he knew it was hers,
and he told the other woman to go
chase herself King Solomon built
Solomon's temple and was the father
of all the Masons, He had 700 wives
and 200 lady friends, and that is why
there are so many Masons in the world. J
