Story 1:
One morning, Akbar's grandson asks him to bend down as he points out there's something foreign on his face. He plucks out a black hair out of Akbar's mustache and laughs out loud for the prank he pulled on the King. Amused, Akbar hugs his grandson and gets started to visit his durbar for the morning.
While walking to the durbar, he thinks of posing a tricky question to his courtiers to baffle them, Birbal included.
After sitting on his Royal throne, he explains the situation he had in the morning and asks what kind of a punishment should the culprit deserve?
OR
He asks what kind of a punishment should a person who pulled a hair out of his mustache deserve?
In response, all his ministers came up with various responses suggesting the person get flogged, imprisoned or hanged. Observing that Birbal is still quiet, Akbar asked him what according to him that person deserved? Hesitantly, Birbal denies to respond as he thinks its inappropriate to voice his thoughts in the court. Akbar insists Birbal to speak ut and he suggests that the person should be gifted with hundreds of kisses.
Surprised at the suggestion, Akbar smiling, ask Birbal to explain himself to the court. Birbal explains that the only person who can pull out a hair is a child & that implies its his grandson.
Once again Birbal's cleverness is exhibited to the courtiers
