One famous Akbar Birbal story is about the 'wise judgment'. A merchant's gold chain was stolen. Akbar asked Birbal to find the thief. Birbal called all the servants and gave them each a stick of the same length and said the thief's stick would grow overnight. The guilty servant cut his stick short out of fear. Next day, it was easy to identify the thief.
There is also a story where Akbar was feeling very proud of his wealth. He asked Birbal if there was anyone as rich as him in the world. Birbal told him about a fisherman. Akbar was puzzled. Birbal explained that the fisherman had a big sea full of fish which was like a never - ending treasure. Akbar realized that wealth can be measured in different ways.
In another story, Akbar once wanted to test Birbal's intelligence. He asked Birbal to count the number of crows in the kingdom. Birbal quickly replied that there were 99,999 crows. When Akbar asked how he was so sure, Birbal said if there were more, some crows from other kingdoms must have come visiting and if there were less, some of our crows must have gone on an outing.
One new story could be that Akbar challenges Birbal to find the most precious thing in the kingdom that has no price tag. Birbal then goes around and finally presents a child's laughter. He explains that it is the purest and most precious thing that cannot be bought.
In another Akbar Birbal ghost story, a strange noise was heard in an old part of the fort. Akbar was convinced it was a ghost. Birbal set up a trap. He spread flour on the floor. In the morning, they saw the footprints of a monkey. It turned out the monkey had got in and was making the spooky noises as it rummaged around for food.
Akbar regarded Birbal as an important part of his court. Birbal's role was not only to give advice but also to amuse Akbar with his clever stories and solutions. Their relationship was based on mutual respect, with Akbar relying on Birbal's wisdom to make better decisions in various matters.
Well, there is a story where Akbar was curious to know how many crows were in his kingdom. He asked Birbal. Birbal replied that there were 95,463 crows. Akbar was surprised and asked how he could be so sure. Birbal said if there were more, then some crows must be visiting from other kingdoms and if there were less, then some of his crows must be visiting other places. This shows Birbal's cleverness in handling Akbar's tricky questions.
One story is that Akbar once asked Birbal how many crows were in the kingdom. Birbal quickly replied, 'There are ninety - five thousand four hundred and sixty - three crows in the kingdom.' When Akbar was surprised and asked how he could be so sure, Birbal said, 'If there are more, then some crows must be visiting from other kingdoms. If there are less, then some of our crows must be visiting other places.'
Sure. One story is about Birbal's cleverness in solving a problem of fairness. A rich merchant and a poor farmer had a dispute over a piece of land. The merchant claimed it was his, but the farmer said it was his. Birbal listened to both sides and then said, 'Let's plant seeds on the land. The one whose seeds grow best will be the owner.' The merchant, thinking he could use his wealth to get the best seeds, agreed. But Birbal secretly told the farmer to plant his seeds as usual. When the time came, the farmer's simple seeds grew well while the merchant's overly treated seeds failed. Birbal declared the farmer as the rightful owner.
Here's another. Akbar wanted to test Birbal's wisdom. He put a long stick in a well and asked Birbal to find out its length without taking it out. Birbal tied a small stick to a rope, lowered it into the well until it reached the bottom of the long stick, and then measured the rope. He was able to tell the length of the long stick in the well.
One famous Akbar Birbal story is about the 'Three Questions'. Akbar asked Birbal three very difficult questions. Birbal cleverly answered them all. For the first question about how many stars were in the sky, Birbal said as many as there were hairs on a sheep, which couldn't be counted. For the second question about how many men and women were in the world, he said there were as many as the number of hairs on two sheep, as it was impossible to distinguish exactly. And for the third question about what Akbar was thinking, Birbal said that Akbar thought he was a great king and that's why he asked such difficult questions. This shows Birbal's great wisdom.
In English literature, the Akbar and Birbal stories are important because they represent a different culture's values of intelligence and diplomacy. They also provide a rich source of material for writers and storytellers. The stories are full of interesting characters and situations that can be adapted and retold in different forms, thus contributing to the diversity of English literature.
One interesting story is when Akbar asked Birbal to measure the length of a road without using any measuring tools. Birbal thought for a moment and then said, 'Your Majesty, I will count my steps as I walk along the road.' Akbar was impressed by his simple yet effective solution.
