Solomon's wish

By Bill Buchman,—USA

Once a very long time ago, there was a very young king named Solomon who loved God very much. He was the king of a great many people. Being the king of a great many people is a very big responsibility, so Solomon prayed to God often.

One night God appeared to Solomon in a dream. And God said, “Ask for whatever you wish and you will receive it.”

Solomon said, “Well, even though I'm king, I'm very young. If I could just understand the difference between right and wrong, then I could be a very good king indeed.”
