Akbar Birbal Stories
For years, Akbar Birbal stories have brought smiles on the faces of children in India. These stories not only appeal to children but liked by older people as well. Still today through these Stories, parents give moral lessons to their children.
These stories depict how some people deal with seberal critical issues in life with a dash of wit and humour. These stories are however not fictional and feature some of the real incidences of the courtroom and the Empire of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Birbal was a wise man in the Akbar’s court who helped Akbar to solve his daily problems. Birbal worked as an advisor for Akbar. Akbar always treated Birbal as a good friend and appreciated his good humour.
Let us now take a look at some of the episodes from Akbar Birbal stories.
One night Akbar had a bad dream that he lost his teeth except his front teeth. He was very disturbed with his dream and he summoned the best astrologers to explain what his dream meant. The astrologers told Akbar that his close relatives would expire. Akbar was not happy with the explanation and he asked them to leave and he rewarded them with nothing.
Akbar later called upon Bibal to explain his dream, Birbal heard the dream and said that the dream meant Akbar would outlive all his relatives and have a better life than them. Akbar was overjoyed with what Birbal said to him and he rewarded Birbal with gold and jewels.
Another short episode from Akbar Birbal stories that shows how sharp Birbal’s wits were. It’s about an incidence when Akbar along with Birbal was taking a stroll in the garden. Then suddenly Akbar noticed a huge group of crows gathered near a pond. Akbar thought to test Birbal’s wits again. So he asked Birbal to count the number of crows that belonged to his kingdom. To that Birbal very promptly replied 95463 crows. A very surprised Akbar asked Birbal’s logic behind the answer. Birbal as usual gave his witty answer and saved the day.
Birbal was loved tremendously by Akbar and the common people in the kingdom, but other courtiers were very jealous of him. It is rumoured that he was murdered and that he did not die fighting in a battle. Akbar took the news of Birbal’s death very badly. Akbar went into mourning for a long period, alternately even celebrating his life for an extended time -which was comforting in the end.
Although not a poor man, Birbal’s family lacked the resources to give him a final send-off worthy of a man in his position. They ended up accepting donations from kind friends to fund a proper celebration of his life.
