Two girls Have reached the ripe age of 18 in the small Russian Jewish town, but there's no groom in sight. The town's rabbi sends a letter to nearest Yeshiva to send proper grooms. Yossl and Yitzi are picked for the task and are sent on a train, to meet the prospective brides. Halfway there, Yitzi turns to Yossl and says, "Forget about this whole marriage thing. I just don't like the idea". So he gets off at the next stop and makes his way back home.
Meanwhile, Yossl carries on and is met at his final destination by the mothers of the two prospective brides. When the mothers realize what has happened, they instantly grab him and begin to fight over whose daughter should wed this precious little boychik. "He's mine!" cries one. "Not on your life," cries the other, "He will marry my daughter!". After bickering for a while, the two mothers decide to go the rabbi and ask him to resolve the situation. In the grand tradition of the ancients, the rabbi replies, "Well, there is only one solution to this problem. Cut the boy in half, and you each take half home with you."
At this, the first mother says "Yes, cut him in half!", but the second mother refuses - "Don't hurt him!". The rabbi combs his beard, ponders the situation and says to the first mother, "You, who wanted to cut him in half, YOU are the real mother-in-law".
