One day while walking in his palace, Akbar looked at the shining stars on the sky. There were thousands of humorous conversations between them. Both of them used to sit hours together and spend time in happy mood. Birbal was very popular among the poets and pundits in the court of Akbar. The friendship between Akbar and Birbal was well known. Messages – This is true story same things happens with us everyday if we are eating something then people will ask, what are you doing ? Stars and Mustard – Counting Of Stars Therefore I had to include your name too.”Akbar saw the point in Birbal’s statement for often we behave as a blind person even if we have good eyes. Angrily he asked Birbal why his name was included on the list.īirbal said, “Your Majesty! Like all other people you also saw me mending shoes but you still asked me what I was doing. He was stunned to find his own name on the list. Giving him no answer, Birbal reported at the court the next day and handed over a note to Akbar.Īkbar read the note and found that it was a big list of people who were blind.
It continued for a week and on the 7th day king Akbar himself asked Birbal the same question. They went to him and asked, “Birbal, what are you doing?”Įvery time someone asked this question, Birbal noted their name on a paper. People were astonished to see him doing such work. Next day, Birbal went to the town market and sat near a tree mending his shoes.
