      The author considers the second order nonlinear difference equation \[ x_{n+1}=\frac{g(x_n,x_{n-1})}{A+x_n},\qquad n=0,1,\dots, \] where \(A>0\) and \(g\: {\mathbb R}^2_+\to{\mathbb R}_+\) is a continuous function. The main result of the paper provides sufficient conditions on~\(g\) under which every positive solution tends to a period two solution.
