4. Wise Birbal
Once upon a time, King Akbar lost a ring
that was very precious to him. This ring was
a gift from his father and losing it made the
king very sad. Akbar summoned Birbal and
requested him to find the ring. The court
was full of courtiers. Birbal announced, “My
great king, the ring is right here in the
courtroom, and the one who has the ring
has a straw stuck in his beard.” Everyone
started looking at each other, and one of
the courtiers started touching his beard to
find the straw. Birbal called the guards and
asked them to search the suspect.
On searching the suspect, the ring was
retrieved. Akbar was amazed at how Birbal
managed to find the ring. Birbal said, “My
King, the one who is guilty will always feel
scared”.
