She heard of his fame but could not believe it. She wanted to test his power of solving puzzles. She visited him and challenged him on his wisdom. King Solomon accepted her challenge. He asked his courtiers to provide her what ever she wanted.

She ordered for two garlands, one of real flowers and the other of artificial flowers. The garlands looked exactly the same. She held the real garland on her right hand and the artificial garland on the left hand. She then asked the king that which was the garland of real flowers. Solomon was silent for some time, as both the garlands looked the same. The Queen felt triumphant. After thinking for a while, he ordered the windows to be opened. The windows were opened. Within few minutes the bees flew in the court from the garden and buzzed around the Queen. After buzzing, the bees settled on the garland in her right hand, which were of real flowers. Queen was impressed with his wisdom so much that she married him.
