It’s a little known fact that King Solomon once had a case involving four puppies and a little girl who demanded she get two of them. The King wasn’t sure she meant it or simply wanted to get her Mommy to give her all the puppies. This was a difficult case, with no easy answer. Finally Solomon said “we shall divide the litter, you each will get half”. The little girl said “Noooo!”. And that is how King Solomon knew she really wanted all the puppies. It’s a famous story.

I’m pretty sure it can’t be both a little known fact and a famous story…
