The story of the well - known phrase 'All the wells are one well'. Akbar once asked Birbal how many wells there were in his kingdom. Birbal replied 'All the wells are one well'. Akbar was confused. Birbal explained that just as all the water in different wells is the same water from the earth, so all wells are one in essence. This showed Birbal's wisdom in seeing the underlying unity in things.
A story where Akbar asked Birbal to count the number of stars in the sky. Birbal replied that he could count the number of crows in Akbar's kingdom first. Akbar was puzzled. Birbal said that just as it was impossible to count the crows as they keep flying in and out of the kingdom, it was also impossible to count the stars as they are countless and keep moving in the sky. This answer demonstrated Birbal's astute wisdom.
The story of the line on the floor. Akbar drew a line on the floor and asked his courtiers to make it shorter without erasing any part of it. Everyone was puzzled. Birbal simply drew a longer line beside it. By comparison, Akbar's line looked shorter. This shows Birbal's great wisdom in finding unique solutions to problems.
One story is about Akbar asking Birbal how many crows are there in the city. Birbal quickly replied that there are 99,999 crows. When Akbar asked how he was so sure, Birbal said that if there were more, then the extra crows would be visiting from other places and if there were less, then some of our crows must be visiting other places.
Once Akbar and Birbal were taking a walk in the garden. Akbar saw a mango tree full of ripe mangoes. He said to Birbal, 'I want to know how many mangoes are there on this tree without counting them.' Birbal said, 'Your Majesty, there are as many mangoes as there are leaves on the tree.' Akbar was amused and realized Birbal's quick - thinking ability.
One famous Akbar Birbal story is about the 'Three Questions'. Akbar wanted to test Birbal's wisdom. He asked three questions: What is the most precious thing in the world? Who is the most intelligent person? What is the best time? Birbal replied that knowledge is the most precious, the one who learns from everyone is the most intelligent, and the present moment is the best time. His answers impressed Akbar greatly.
In another story, Akbar wanted to test Birbal's wisdom. He showed Birbal a picture of a family where a man, his wife, and their children were sitting together. Akbar asked Birbal to tell who was the most intelligent in the family just by looking at the picture. Birbal replied that it was the mother because she was the one who could manage and take care of everyone in the family, which required great intelligence.
There was a time when Akbar lost his ring. He suspected his servants. Birbal came and said he knew who had the ring. He called all the servants together and said, 'The ring is with a thief. And the thief has a straw in his nose.' All the servants started looking at each other's noses. One servant unconsciously touched his nose. Birbal pointed at him and said he was the thief. It turned out he was right.
It's hard to say for sure. Different versions of the story might have different mentions of the number of crows.
Once Akbar lost his ring in the palace. He asked Birbal to find it. Birbal thought for a while and then announced that the thief was the person who had a long nose. All the courtiers started looking at each other's noses. Akbar was confused too. Birbal then said that he just wanted everyone to search themselves. And soon the ring was found in a corner of the room. This shows Birbal's cleverness in solving problems in an interesting way.
Once, Akbar got angry with his courtiers for some minor mistake. He wanted to punish them severely. Birbal came forward and said, 'Your Majesty, if you cut the branches of the tree (the courtiers), the tree (the kingdom) will not be able to grow properly. Forgive them and guide them instead.' Akbar, after thinking for a while, followed Birbal's advice and the courtiers were very grateful to Birbal for saving them.
