Mulla was constantly stressed out by the bickering of his two wives. To buy some peace and quiet, he bought two identical necklaces, gave one to each of them in secret, and told them not to tell the other. A few days later, the wives cornered him and demanded to know who he loved more. Knowing they hadn't told each other about the gifts, Mulla smiled and said, "I love the one I gave the necklace to the most." Both women walked away happy, each thinking she was the favorite.
