What next ??!!

  Akbar was having sleepless nights. Because of this, he was not able to do his work with concentration.

He consulted the Royal doctor and explained his problem. 

Doctor advised him to listen to stories from someone before going to bed. 

Akbar agreed and ordered his courtiers to tell him the story during the night. Each day different courtiers. 

First courtier came and started telling the story.  Akbar was a good listener and he kept on asking what next ?

Though the story got ended, Akbar went on asking what next ??

Courtiers were tired by telling different stories but Akbar was still asking what next ?

They all asked Birbal to help them.

Birbal assured them and next night he went near Akbar to tell the story .

Akbar was very happy by seeing Birbal as the story teller .

Birbal started telling the story .

Once upon a time , there was a Hunter . Once he laid a web to catch the birds by keeping the grains over the web .

Unaware of this , birds thronged over the grains to eat . Suddenly web surrounded them and birds were trapped .

Birbal paused . Akbar asked what next ?

Birbal continued , that time a mouse was passing by . By seeing the condition of birds , it started to make a small hole in the web so that birds one by one slowly can come out .

First bird slowly managed to come out.

Second bird slowly managed to come out.

Third bird slowly managed to come out.

By now , Akbar said what next ?

Birbal continued ,  fourth bird slowly managed to come out.

Fifth bird slowly managed to come out.

By now , Akbar was restless and asked Birbal when will all the birds manage to come out ?

Birbal calmly said , when you stop asking what next !!!

Akbar realised his folly .
