  In a recent comment, it has been shown that in a quantum secret sharing
protocol proposed in [S. Bagherinezhad, V. Karimipour, Phys. Rev. {\bf A}, 67,
044302, (2003)], one of the receivers can cheat by splitting the entanglement
of the carrier and intercepting the secret, without being detected. In this
reply we show that a simple modification of the protocol prevents the receivers
from this kind of cheating.
