new concepts and “Solomon Judges Wisely”.
practicing new skills #1
First, I will be reading the story for
you. Then afterwards, you will be
reading it. Is it clear? Yes, mam.

Before reading the story, let me leave

you a motive question. “How did
Solomon make the wise judgement?”

SOLOMON JUDGES WISELY

Sometime later, two prostitutes

came to the king to have an argument
settled. “Please, my lord”, one of them
began, “this woman and I live in the
same house. I gave birth to a baby
while she was with me in the house.
Three days later, she also had a baby.
We were alone; there were only two of
us in the house. But her baby died
during the night when she rolled over
on it. Then she got up in the night and
took my son from beside me while I
was asleep. She laid her dead child in
my arms and took mine to sleep beside
her. And in the morning when I tried to
nurse my son, he was dead! But when I
looked more closely in the morning
light, I saw that it wasn’t my son at all.”
Then the other woman interrupted,
“It certainly was your son, and the
living child is mine.”
“No,” the first woman said, “the
dead one is yours, the living one is
mine.” And so they argued back and
forth before the king.
Then the king said, “Let’s get the
facts straight. Both of you claim the
living child is yours, each says that the
dead child belongs to the other. All
right, bring me a sword.” So a sword
was brought to the king. Then he said,
“Cut the living child into two and give
half to each of these women!”
Then the woman who really was the
mother of the living child, and who
loved him very much, cried out, “Oh
no, my lord! Give her the child – please
do not kill him!”
But the other woman said, “All,
right, he will be neither yours nor mine;
divide him between us!”
Then the king said, “Do not kill him
but give the baby to the woman who
wants him to live, for she is his
mother!”
Word of the king’s decision spread
quickly throughout all Israel, and the
people were awed as they realized the
 great wisdom God had given him to
render decisions with justice. The two prostitutes/mother and King
Solomon.
Activity 3: Let’s Comprehend!

Who are the characters in the story?
Very good! Why did the two women
come to see the King?
Because both of them claim to be the
mother of the living child and says the
dead child belongs to the other.
By judging wisely.

Very good! How did King Solomon

solve the problem? Yes. Because it is the wisest thing to
do.

If you were King Solomon, would you

do the same? No, I’d rather live without my child so
he could live.
If you are the mother of the living

Activity 6: Pick a Part!

Let’s play a game. Stay with your

group.

For this game, one by one each group

will select a member to be a
representative each set. I have a set of
cards with an element of a short story
written on it. The first group will first
get a card. Then, he/she will read a
brief extract from the story “Solomon
Judges Wisely” that correspond that
element. Then the opposite group
representative will try to guess what is
that element. If they answered it
correctly, they will then pick the next
card. If they answered wrong, they will Yes, mam!
lose another turn.

The group with most scores wins! Is it

clear?

Congratulations, …!
Great job, everyone!

Activity 7: Read and Supply!

Let us read another story. Then
afterwards, we are trying to supply the
needed information in the table.

BABY FISH LOOKS AT LAND

“Mother, what is land?” Baby Fish

asked Mother Fish. “May I go and find
out?
 But his mother would not let him go.
Baby Fish was very much disappointed.
He did not like to eat and play. Mother
Fish was afraid Baby Fish might die so
she allowed him to go. Baby Fish was
very happy, but his Mother was very
sad. Baby Fish swam and swam. Soon
he became hungry. He saw one live
shrimp. He caught the shrimp and was
about to swallow it when he felt a tug
in his mouth. He tightened his bite on
the shrimp. But he felt himself pulled
upward and fast.
“This shrimp must be very strong,”
thought Baby Fish. He was not
frightened. He opened his mouth. He
struggled to set himself free but the pull
upward was strong. Then he felt
himself being lifted out of the water
and being tossed to the land.

The story happed under the sea.

about the lesson
Now, let us go back and try to answer
the motive question that I gave you a
while ago for the story “Solomon
 Judges Wisely”.

How did Solomon make the wise Solomon makes the wise judgement
judgement? by listening the hearts of the two
mothers and through his great wisdom
God gave him.

Very good!

Who had an argument before King The two prostitutes.

Solomon?

Very good! What was the argument Both the prostitutes that the living

child belongs to the other.

Very good! What can you say about

Solomon’s judgment? If you were him,
would you also do what he did?
Solomon had wise judgment. If I were
him, I would also do what he did
because for me that really proved who
between the two mothers showed true
love for the baby.

Very good! The real mother of the baby

would rather let the other woman have
the baby than let the baby be killed; she
showed selfless love and sacrifice.

Will you share with the class what your

mother has done for you out of selfless My mother bought me a new pair of
love and sacrifice, Flori Vi? shoes though I knew her money was
just enough for our school allowances.

THE SICK LION

All the animals in the forest were
happy because they heard that their
cruel king was sick. The lion did not
come out of his cave as he usually did.
He sent out a message to his subjects
that he wanted to bid them goodbye
before he died.
“What does he want to see us for?”
asked the deer. “Maybe he will give
each of us a share of his wealth.”
All the animals went to see their
king lion except the fox. He sat on a
tree and watched the animals go inside
the cave. He waited for them to come
out, but no one did. Later that
afternoon, the king lion appeared at the
entrance of the cave. When he saw the
fox, he said, “Why did you not come to
see me? Don’t you want to share with
the other animals what I have given
them?”
“I really want to visit you, my king”
said the fox.
“But I am sure your home is
crowded now. All the animals have
gone inside your cave and no one has
come out yet”
“Ha! Ha!” laughed the king lion.
“They all wanted to stay inside the
cave. You will be staying there for a
long time, if you will wait for them to
come out.”
He went away happily because he
was still well and alive. He knew well
why not a single animal came out of the ANSWERS
cave. “Our king lion thinks he is wise 1. b
