Birbal's wisdom

Once a merchant's house was robbed . Merchant had doubts on his servants. But everyone denied that they have robbed anything.

Merchant asked for help of Birbal . Birbal came to house and asked with every servant about robbery . But everyone denied their role in it.

Birbal had some sticks with him . He gave the sticks to every servant and said " These are the magical sticks. They will grow bigger by 2 inches with the robber in overnight. Take these sticks with you to your house and return them in the morning ". 

Next day morning , every servant had sticks with him . Birbal started measuring the sticks infront of respective servant.

Soon he found that one stick was shorter by 2 inches . The servant who had that with him , agreed his guilt and returned all the robbed wealth.

Servant turned robber was scared that the magical stick with him , may grow larger by 2 inch as he is the robber . That's why he had cut the stick by 2 inches .
