V. A beautiful woman, persecuted by the governor, put her gold in jars and covered it on the top with honey. She left them with a friend and went away. After the death of the goxernor she returned. Meanwhile that man, wanting honey for the wedding of his son, went to the jars and found them full of gold. He emptied them and filled them with honey. The woman received the jars back but found no gold in them. She came to the judge but could not get justice done as she had no proof.
On the way home she met David {Solomon) who was still a lad, and who promised to help her if permitted by the King. Permission was granted and he ordered the jars to be broken in the presence of the king and the people and two gold pieces were found sticking to the jar and the man was ordered to return all the money.
