Two women of these families became pregnant at the same time and were about to deliver babies. They were taken to the same delivery house. A nurse was there to look after the women. At the time of delivery, the nurse allowed none in the house. The nurse found that one woman bore a baby boy but she became senseless just after the birth of the child. On the other hand, the other woman bore a dead baby boy and she was sad for that. She at once hit upon a plan. Managing the nurse she replaced her dead child by the living baby of the woman who was still unconscious. After a few minutes, the woman got her sense and cried out loudly seeing the dead child beside her. She could not believe that this dead child was hers. Finding no other way, the woman went to the Quazi for justice. The Quazi listened to the woman's prayer. Then, he summoned the two women. He asked them to let him know the truth. Both the women claimed for the baby boy who was alive. At last, the Quazi hit upon a plan. He informed both the women that he would cut the baby into two equal pieces and give one piece to each of them. The false mother kept silent and did not utter even a single word. Thus the Quazi identified the real mother and handed the child to her. He punished the false mother for stealing the child.
