Akbar Birbal Story - Part 30
One fine day while the court proceedings were on, Akbar noticed that everyone had conflicting thoughts to the same question and they were unable to come to a consensus. He started pondering upon the fact if ever everyone can think the same way? The confused king asked Birbal if he can explain this to him?
Birbal politely replied that at times people do think the same depending on what the problem is. When Akbar asks Birbal to prove it, Birbal comes up with an idea that requires all the citizens of the kingdom to pour a bowl of milk in the huge tub kept in the palace. Since everyone thought that there is no point in wasting precious milk on king’s absurd demand, they all poured a bowl of water instead assuming that others will be pouring milk and they wont be caught. This eventually proved Birbal’s point.
