    NAME OF THE PROJECT: BIRBAL STORIES


    The Cock and the Hen
    Since Birbal always outwitted Akbar, Akbar thought of a plan to make Birbal look like a fool. He gave one
    egg to each of his ministers before Birbal reached the court one morning.

    So when Birbal arrived, the king narrated a dream he had had the previous night saying that he would
    be able to judge the honesty of his ministers if they were able to bring back an egg from the royal
    garden pond.

    So, Akbar asked all his courtiers to go to the pond, one at a time and return with an egg. So, one by one,
    all his ministers went to the pond and returned with the egg which he had previously given them.

    Then it was Birbal’s turn. He jumped into the pond and could find no eggs. He finally realized that the
    King was trying to play a trick on him. So he entered the court crowing like a cock.

    The Emperor asked him to stop making that irritating noise and then asked him for the egg.

    Birbal smiled and replied that only hens lay eggs, and as he was a cock, he could not produce an egg.

    Everyone laughed loudly and the King realized that Birbal could never be easily fooled.
    Birbal Cooking Khichdi

    On a cold winter day Akbar and Birbal took a walk along the lake. A thought came to Birbal that a man
    would do anything for money. He expressed his feelings to Akbar. Akbar then put his finger into the lake
    and immediately removed it because he shivered with cold.

    Akbar said “I don’t think a man would spend an entire night in the cold water of this lake for money.”

    Birbal replied “I am sure I can find such a person.”

    Akbar then challenged Birbal into finding such a person and said that he would reward the person with a
    thousand gold coins.
    Birbal searched far and wide until he found a poor man who was desperate enough to accept the
    challenge. The poor man entered the lake and Akbar had guards posted near him to make sure that he
    really did as promised.

    The next morning the guards took the poor man to Akbar. Akbar asked the poor man if he had
    indeed spent the night in the lake. The poor man replied that he had. Akbar then asked the poor man
    how he managed to spend the night in the lake. The poor man replied that there was a street lamp near
    by and he kept his attention affixed on the lamp and away from the cold. Akbar then said that there
    would be no reward as the poor man had survived the night in the lake by the warmth of the street

    lamp. The poor man went to Birbal for help.

    The next day, Birbal did not go to court. The king wondering where he was sent a messenger to his
    home. The messenger came back saying that Birbal would come once his Khichri was cooked. The king
    waited hours but Birbal did not come. Finally the king decided to go to Birbal’s house and see what he
    was upto.

    He found Birbal sitting on the floor near some burning twigs and a bowl filled with Khichri hanging five
    feet above the fire. The king and his attendants couldn’t help but laugh.

    Akbar then said to Birbal “How can the Khichri be cooked if it so far away from the fire?”
    Birbal answered “The same way the poor man received heat from a street lamp that was more than a
    furlong away.”

    The King understood his mistake and gave the poor man his reward.
