A scholar from faraway lands once visits Akbar’s court. He declared that he is a smart one and no one can answer his questions. The scholar challenges Birbal to answer his question and prove that he is the smartest.

One day Akbar and Birbal were taking a stroll in the royal gardens when Akbar happened to see a group of crows on the tree.

“I think my people love me,” beamed Akbar during his stroll with Birbal in the royal garden. “You are right your majesty. But people also fear you,” came the reply from Birbal.

Akbar was once greeted by a consortium of nobles from different parts of the kingdom. They told the emperor that they had come for the position of royal advisor,

Once, a blacksmith bought a well from his neighbor, a farmer. Despite the sale, the farmer continued to draw water from the well.

Once, a rich man invited Birbal for dinner. When Birbal arrived at the man’s house, he noticed that there were several people already present.

One day, Akbar stumbled upon a rock sticking out of the soil in the garden. He felt very embarrassed about falling in front of the guards and courtiers.

Once Emperor Akbar became very angry at his favorite minister Birbal. He asked Birbal to leave the kingdom and go away.
