Sheba, the former queen of an Arab nation, arrived in Jerusalem. Though her lands were now ruled by the Yemenites, she was still quite wealthy with much influence in both Ethiopia and Yemen. She had come to Solomon's court, with her own court, large enough to shame many a king, for she had heard of the wisdom of Solomon. After arriving in the palace a long dance of courtchip ensude. This all culminated in an attempt by Sheba to trick the Wise King, and to see if the legends were correct. She had her servants make a field of flowers from fine silk that she had come into posession of, being that she had courtesians who knew the black markets that stretched all the way to the rice kingdoms. This literal field of fake flowers was lade out in the great entrance to the palace of Solomon. In this bouque of bouqes she stuck one real flower that appeared exactly the same as the fake ones, the craftsmanship of the fake ones being so good. She invited the Wise King into the grand hall and asked him to pick out the real flower that was hidden there. The king, upon hearing this, began to walk through this new meadow pearing occasionally into one flower or another. While he was walking a bee flew by. Sheba thought nothing of it, but King Solomon seemed intent to see where it was headed. He followed the bee until it landed on one of the flowers. Solomon then picked up the flower, which was indeed the real one, and presented it to Sheba saying, "Here is the flower which you have asked me to find. But do not thank me for finding it, thank the bee. I only had the wisdom to follow him."
