Akbar-Birbal story
Once, theft happened in the house of one of the ministers of Akbar. The minister came near Akbar and asked him to help in finding the thief. Akbar was surprised . Because minister's house was in a tightly secured area. Akbar asked Birbal to crack the case.
Birbal thought it must be the work of some one who knows minister's family. Thief must be minister's friend or relative. Birbal asked for a donkey. Then he called all friends and relatives of minister. He said them that "donkey has special powers. By holding its tail in hand, donkey will reveal who is the culprit is ". Likewise everyone did.
Birbal asked everyone to show their hand. Actually he had painted donkey's tail with black colour. The thief acted that he held the tail. But actually he didnt. He is one of friends of minister. His palms were clean. Thus, Birbal cracked the case. Akbar sent the thief to jail and rewarded Birbal.
