Akbar Birbal Story - Part 17
Birbal is one of the closest mates of Akbar but there was a time when Akbar was so angry with Birbal that he ordered Birbal to leave his kingdom forever. Birbal without any complaint left and stayed in a far off village for months. Akbar was very sad without Birbal being around him so he decided to look for him. He sent his men all over the kingdom but no one could trace him. Then Akbar came up with an idea.
Akbar announced that whoever will come to visit the king in half sunlight and half shade will be rewarded.
Everyone wished to try but none could succeed. When Birbal got to know about this quest, he asked his neighbor to keep a woven bed on his head and to visit the court. The man did as Birbal asked him to and was announced the winner.
Akbar knew that this can’t be the solution of the villager, so asked him to reveal the real brain behind this. Villager then informed Akbar that a Brahmin man was staying in his village for few months and he gave him the idea to do so. Akbar ordered his guards to bring Birbal back and this way he got his gem back again.
