Akbar Birbal Story - Part 6
Like we all know, Birbal was emperor Akbar’s favorite gem and consultant. Be it a small issue or something huge and important, Akbar always looked up to Birbal for help and advice. As Birbal was preferred more in the court of the king, the other members were often jealous.
One day when Akbar came to court, he noticed that the courtroom be very silent and no one was even talking during the discussion period.
When the confused king asked the reason behind the sudden silence, an elderly man came forward and complained to him that even after several years of service they have given to the king, Akbar only prefers Birbal. The man also explained how insulted they all feel because of the partiality.
Akbar decided to ask a question to everyone present in the room to prove themselves better than Birbal. His question was, “Where are seeds planted?” But no one was able to tell the right answer. Akbar then summoned Birbal. Birbal asked for a glass of water and explained that there is a seed in every place if taken well care of.
