Akbar Birbal Stories- Hindi Moral Tales

Once on a cold winter day, Akbar and Birbal were walking by the lake. Out of curiosity, Akbar stopped and put his finger into the freezing water and immediately took it out saying, “I don’t think anyone can sustain a night in this cold water”. Birbal took that as a challenge and said that he would find someone who can do it. Akbar promised a sum of 1000 gold coins to whoever could spend a night standing in the cold water of the lake.

Soon, Birbal found a poor man who spent the entire night standing in the freezing water. In the morning, when poor man was taken to court for the reward, Akbar asks him what made him able to stand in the freezing water whole night and the man replied, “My lord, I kept looking at a lamp that was burning at a distance, and spent my entire night looking at it”. On learning this, the emperor refused to offer the reward as he felt it was the warmth of the lamp which helped the man. The plot continues on how Birbal taught Akbar through a demonstration that the poor man deserved his reward.

Once lived a religious man who had the learned the art of training parrots. He would catch parrots with his charm, teach them manners, and then sell them to noblemen at a high price. So one day the man came to the court of Akbar and offered him a parrot.

Akbar ordered a servant to look after the parrot very carefully and never give him news of any bad happenings with the parrot. But due to the change of environment, the parrot fell sick and died. The poor servant got very scared and thought that Akbar would kill him now as the parrot was very close to the emperor. He immediately went to Birbal seeking his help. Birbal then informed Akbar that his parrot has become a saint- who just looks up, neither eats nor moves. Akbar immediately visits the parrot and discovers that he has died. He understood Birbal's smartness and his mistake in the end.

Once an attendant in Akbar’s court broke one of Akbar’s favorite flower vase and when he was questioned, the servant lied thinking that Akbar will punish him since it was his favorite vase. But the truth was found out and the servant was expelled from Akbar’s court because of the lie. Birbal, on the other hand, tried to explain the general human tendency of lying which is always not just to cover up flaws or bad deeds but sometimes human beings lie not to break the other person’s heart. Unable to understand Birbal’s philosophy, even he was asked to leave the court by Akbar. That was when Birbal decided to teach Akbar the depth of his argument with the help of golden wheat.

Once Birbal was late to the court of Emperor Akbar. When he was asked for the reason, Birbal explained how he was stuck with his crying kids which caused him the delay in getting to the court. Akbar thought Birbal was lying and thus he was not impressed with the answer. To convince Akbar, Birbal decided to pretend like a kid and show Akbar the challenges one faces when trying to convince a crying kid to throw tantrums all day long.

Akbar was quite disturbed and tensed about his son’s bad habit of sucking his own thumb. He tried a lot to cure this habit, but nothing worked. So he summoned a saint in his courtroom for help. After listening to the problem, the saint told that he would come after a few days with a solution and left. This behavior of the saint made Akbar angry but after few days when the saint came back, he simply explained the boy about the consequences of his bad habit and the boy promised never to do it again. Angry Akbar and other courtiers decided to punish the saint for his past behavior but like always Birbal explained the bigger lesson in it.

A king of Turkistan was overly concerned about his growing age and came to know about a life-extending tree in India. He sent a letter to Akbar where he requested him to share some leaves of the tree with his courtiers for him. Akbar on consulting with Birbal, decided to capture all the soldiers of Turkistan in an unoccupied mansion and informed them that he can only provide the leaves when few of the bricks of the mansion break. The tensed soldier stayed there for a few days and prayed to god day and night until an earthquake struck the kingdom. The wall of the prison where they were captured fell down and finally the soldiers were released as promised. Akbar then carefully explained the meaning of life to them and set them away to return back to their homes.

Birbal was a true believer in God and always maintained that there is always a possible reason behind every decision of God. Be it good or bad, everything God does is for our own good. Once a courtier explained his misery of how he lost a finger and questioned Birbal whether he still holds onto the core belief of God being so great. With Birbal’s same reply “Whatever happens, typically happens for a reason”, the courtier becomes angry. Three months passed by and one fine day, the courtier got trapped by a group of tribal people in the forest. It was the same lost finger that saved him from the tribesmen on that miserable day.

One fine day while the proceedings were going on in the court, 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 that why can’t everyone think the same. The confused king asked Birbal if he can explain to him why everyone always thinks differently and can never think on the same lines? 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 carry out a specific task which will prove his point for good.

King Akbar’s son was complemented for his beauty by everyone in the court. Akbar also agreed to the fact that his son was the most beautiful child in the world but Birbal did not agree to it completely. According to Birbal, Akbar’s son was definitely beautiful but not the most beautiful child in the whole world. Furious, Akbar challenged Birbal to bring to him a child who was more beautiful than his son and prove him wrong. The next day Birbal took Akbar to a place in disguise of a common man to make him meet with the most beautiful child in the world. That was when Akbar understood the true meaning of a beautiful child.
