Akber and Birbal - Story

It was afternoon, King Akbar was thinking something sitting in his court. Suddenly he remembered one thing Birbal had said. He remembered that once Birbal had told him a proverb, which went something like this – Lying down after eating and running away after hitting are the signs of a wise man.
The king started thinking, “It is now afternoon. Surely Birbal would be preparing to sleep after eating. Let's prove her wrong today." Thinking of this, he ordered a servant to convey the message to Birbal to be present in the court at this very moment.
Birbal was just sitting after having his meal that the servant reached Birbal after taking the order of the king. Birbal understood very well the intention of the king hidden behind the order. He said to the servant, “You wait for a while. I change clothes and walk with you.
Going inside, Birbal chose a tight pyjama for himself. Pajama was tight so he had to lie down on the bed to wear it. On the pretext of wearing pyjamas, he lay on the bed for a while and then went towards the court with the servant.
The king was waiting for Birbal in the court. As soon as they reached there, the king asked, "Why Birbal. Did you lie down after eating today or not? Birbal replied, “Yes Maharaj. Must have been lying down. The king got very angry after hearing this. He asked Birbal, “Does it mean that you disrespected my order. Why didn't you appear before me at the same time? For this I punish you.
Birbal immediately replied, “Maharaj. It is true that I lay down for a while, but I have not disobeyed your order. If you don't believe me, you can ask the servant about this. Yes, it is a different matter that I had to lie on the bed to wear this tight pyjama.
Akbar could not live without laughing after hearing this of Birbal and he let Birbal go from the court.

Jealous of Birbal

Jealous of Birbal. Because of Birbal's intelligence and the art of steaming the problem, the emperor liked him very much. For this reason other people were equally jealous of Birbal. Akbar's brother-in-law was also one of those jealous. He always wanted to take the special place that Birbal had got. The emperor knew that there could be no one else like Birbal. He used to try to explain this to his brother-in-law as well, but his brother-in-law always used to say that he is also very intelligent. Because of all these things, once it occurred to the king that now he will not believe like this. He has to be explained by giving some task. That's why Akbar told his brother-in-law that with your mind and understanding, you should save this sack of coal to the most greedy Seth Damdi Lal. If you do this, I will immediately give you the place of Birbal. Akbar's brother-in-law was surprised to hear this, but he wanted Birbal's place. With this thought, he reached ...

Biggest weapon in this world?

Biggest weapon in this world? Emperor Akbar used to talk to Birbal about many things other than work. Sitting like this, one day the king asked Birbal that according to you which is the biggest weapon in this world? In response to this, Birbal said that there can be no bigger weapon in the world than self-confidence. Akbar did not understand this, but still he did not say anything. It occurred to him that when the time comes, this thing will be tested. After a few days, an elephant became uncontrollable in the state. On finding out, it was understood that he has gone mad. He was chained by the staff. As soon as the news of this reached the king, he directly told the mahout that whenever you see Birbal coming, play the elephant's chains. The mahout was surprised to hear this, but it was the order of the king, so he bowed his head and left. Now Akbar asked Birbal to go to the Mahavat. Seeing Birbal coming, Mahavat also freed the elephant from the chains following the orde...

Akber and Birbal

Once upon a time, King Akbar and Birbal were discussing some important matters sitting in the court. Then Birbal said to Akbar, "I think most of the men are slaves of Joru and live in fear of their wives." The king did not like this statement of Birbal at all. He opposed this. On this, Birbal was also adamant on getting his words convinced. He told the king that he could prove his point. However, for this the king will have to issue an order among the subjects. The order was that, the man who was found to be afraid of his wife, would have to deposit a hen in the court. The king agreed to this talk of Birbal. The very next day an order was made among the people that if it is proved that a man is afraid of his wife, then he will have to come to the court and deposit a hen with Birbal. What was it then, in no time, many chickens gathered near Birbal and hundreds of chickens started roaming in the garden of the palace. Now Birbal reached to the king and said, “Maharaj...
