Two women approached the court to seek justice. Both were claiming to be the be the mother of a child. Despite all efforts it was difficult to find the original parent . the Judge , left with no other choice , orderd to cut the baby into two halves and handover each dividend to both the claimants. As the bailiff confiscated the baby to implement the decision . No sir , please do not cut the baby  Give it to her.
On hearing the cry, the judge orderd to hand over the baby to this woman and arrest the women who agreed to cut off the child. It was the prudent idea that revealed the real claimant , who was ready to give her child in order to save his life.

kill the cat on the first day

It is believed that an educated wife would make the married life happy and prosperous. A man was to be married to a highly educated lady. One of his stuiped friends wrongly advised him." For a prosperous life, the wife should be kept under the thumb, never be submissive to her, or she would make the life hell for you. keep her inspired with awe."
foolishly he told him about an old persian idiom "KILL THE CAT ON THE FIRST DAY" he further guided him to bring home a cat before bringing the bride home starve the cat for a couple of days.when you will take the first dinner with the newlywed wife, the hungry cat at the sight of dinner become impatient and would try to approach the food. only for once try to stop her, naturally she will not stay back. at this movement, violently you should take the sword out and telling the cat you do not like to repeat commands, behead the cat. thus the wife will be terrified and will carry out your orders immediately.
the man not realizing that prosperity comes with love, understanding and respecting each other,decided to follow his friends instructions. after the wedding formalities were over and both were left alone to have their first dinner, as per plans the hungry cat was set free,who snapped at the dishes the husband in a stern voice  commanded the cat to refrain , but in vain. but before he would have taken the sword out the wife shouted  at the highest pitch  of her voice, stop! do not you ever dare to kill the cat and stain the carpet with blood  you your self will have to clean the mess. i have read this story of the cat killing in the school days. i am not the one to be impressed by such foolish tactics, on her shouting so violently the husband was confounded so much so that after that day, throughout his entire life he never dared to raise his head before the wife.
