Story of King Solomon and Queen of Sheba

Long ago, there was a really smart man named King Solomon. People everywhere knew about how clever he was. Even the Queen of Sheba had heard of his smarts. She wanted to see how smart he really was, so she came to visit him. She had a plan to test his brainpower.

When she arrived at the king's fancy home, she brought two sets of flowers with her. One set was real, picked right from nature, and the other set was fake, made by people. She put both sets of flowers in front of the king and asked him to pick out the real ones. This was a tricky task because the flowers looked almost the same.

The king thought and thought. It was really hard to tell which flowers were real and which were fake because they had the same colors and all. But then, he noticed some bees flying around outside the windows. He got an idea. He quickly opened the windows, and the bees flew in. They landed on the real flowers, the ones from nature. That helped the king know which flowers were real. He picked those ones.

The Queen of Sheba was amazed and very impressed with the king's clever idea. She thought he was so wise. She told him he was truly "Solomon the wise" and she felt happy for him.
