city. He immediately ordered his men to count the crows. The
king’s men went to all parts of the city to count the crows. They
counted the crows on the rooftops. They counted the crows in
the trees. They counted the crows near the riverbanks. But still
they were not sure about the number of crows in the city.

All the men counted the crows. But no one was sure of their
number. The king thought it was the right time to ask Birbal.
King sent for Birbal and the matter was told. Birbal laughed
and answered.

Birbal : It is very simple. There are two hundred crows in the
city.

King : But people told that there were two hundred and forty.
Birbal : That’s right , some crows have come to visit the city.
King : But I counted hundred and sixty five !!

Birbal : You are correct your Majesty, some crows have gone
to visit their friends.

Akbar : You are a very clever man !!!
King Akbar gave Birbal a bag of gold for the answer.
