King Solomon was famous for his wisdom. The Queen of Sheba wanted to test him. One day she went to the King with two garlands. One of the garlands was made of real flowers. The other one was made of paper flowers. But both the garlands looked exactly alike. She held one garland in each of her hands and stood in front of the King. She said, "O wise King, tell me, without moving from your seat, which one of these two garlands is made of real flowers."

The King looked at each of the two garlands very carefully. They looked very much alike. He could not tell one from the other. When his eyes failed to guide him, the wise King used his brain to solve the problem. A bright idea came to his mind. He ordered one of his servants to open the window overlooking the garden. ‘The servant opened the window. Soon bees came in from the garden and began hovering around the garland in the Queen's right hand.
