What is the most famous Akbar Birbal story in Hindi?

Another very famous story is when Akbar challenges Birbal to spend all the money he gives in one day but also bring back all the items bought at the end of the day. Birbal buys candles with the money. At night, he lights up the whole city with the candles. People are so happy that they give him many gifts. He returns to Akbar with the gifts which he claims are the items bought with the money. This story is popular as it shows Birbal's resourcefulness.

One well - known story is when Akbar asked Birbal to measure the length of a river. Birbal took a stick and made a mark on it at the water level at one bank. Then he walked to the other bank and again made a mark on the stick where the water reached. He said the length between the two marks was the length of the river. Akbar was impressed by this simple yet smart solution.

The story of the ring is also well - known. Akbar lost his precious ring and suspected his servants. Birbal came up with a plan. He announced that the person who stole the ring would have a long nose. All the servants were made to pass in front of a mirror. The thief, fearing that his nose would actually grow long, confessed. Birbal's clever plan saved the day.

A well - known story is when Akbar asked Birbal to count the stars in the sky. Birbal replied that he would do so if Akbar could first provide him with a large piece of paper as big as the sky to write down the count. This showed his ability to turn a difficult question back on the asker in a humorous way.

A well - known story is about a haunted well. People said a ghost lived in it. Akbar sent Birbal. Birbal dropped a stone in the well and then said that the 'ghost' must have run away because of the noise. In fact, he just showed that there was no real ghost but just superstition.

Probably the story where Akbar drew a line on the floor and asked Birbal to make it shorter without erasing any part of it. Birbal simply drew a longer line beside it, making the first line seem shorter.

Once Akbar and Birbal were taking a walk in the garden. Akbar saw a mango tree full of ripe mangoes. He said to Birbal, 'I want to know how many mangoes are there on this tree without counting them.' Birbal said, 'Your Majesty, there are as many mangoes as there are leaves on the tree.' Akbar was amused and realized Birbal's quick - thinking ability.

There was a time when Akbar was feeling very sad. He called Birbal and said he wanted to see something that could make him laugh immediately. Birbal left and came back after some time with a man who was wearing a strange - looking hat made of pots and pans. The man was also making funny faces. Akbar couldn't help but laugh out loud at this sight. This shows Birbal's ability to understand Akbar's needs and come up with a quick solution.

Once, Akbar got angry with his courtiers for some minor mistake. He wanted to punish them severely. Birbal came forward and said, 'Your Majesty, if you cut the branches of the tree (the courtiers), the tree (the kingdom) will not be able to grow properly. Forgive them and guide them instead.' Akbar, after thinking for a while, followed Birbal's advice and the courtiers were very grateful to Birbal for saving them.

One moral could be about the power of quick thinking. In many stories, Birbal has to think on his feet to answer Akbar's difficult questions, like in the story about the number of crows. It shows that being able to think fast can get you out of tricky situations.
