There was a case when the wife of one prince approached Genghis Khan with a request to free her relatives.
Genghis Khan said, “Here are your husband, your son, and your brother standing in front of you.” I will only let one go, who do you choose?
Without thinking, she answered, “Brother.” - Explain to me why?
The woman said: “I can find a husband, I can give birth to a son, but I cannot create a brother.”
After hearing this, Genghis Khan freed all three.
