A Unique Painting
Once Akbar told, “Birbal, make me a painting.

Use imagination in it.” Birbal replied, “But Huzoor!

I am a minister, how can I possibly paint?”

Akbar got angry at his reply and said, “If I don’t
get a good painting in a week,
you shall be sent away from
this country.” Some of the

idea. Next day Birbal came to
the court. He had a covered
frame with him. Akbar was
happy to see Birbal.
