Akbar Birbal Story - Part 2
One day a priest came in the court of Akbar with his wrist full of golden bangles and threw a challenge to Akbar. He suggested he will question the nobleman of Akbar’s court and if he looses, all the bangles that he has collected from great men all across the world will be Akbar’s but if he wins, Akbar will have to offer him another golden bangle. Birbal was summoned to face the challenge and the priest started questioning him.
The priest asked Birbal the first question – Usually our brain is in our head but when does it leave? Birbal said in old age. Next question was when does shame leave your eyes? Birbal said that is when you do something wrong. Next question was when does bravery leave one? Birbal suggested that when we are afraid of something. Last question was when does power leaves our body? Then Birbal suggested that happens in old age when we are unable to do our own chores. Priest understood that he has lost therefore he gave all his bangles to Akbar and left.
