Akbar and Birbal - Someone, please correct it. The stories of Akbar and Birbal are famous all over India. Akbar was the greatest Muslim emperor India has ever seen and Birbal was one of his nine ministers. Akbar took a special liking to Birbal, because he was witty, sharp, brave and always ready with an answers when posed with questions. One day, when they were walking in the royal garden after lunch, Akbar said, "What an awesome food it was, Birbal! Especially, I liked the brinjal. I think it is the most tasty vegetable on earth. What do you think?" Birbal replied promptly,"Yes my Lord! You are right. It is the most delicious vegetable I have ever eaten. Everyone likes it, be it a child or an old person." Akbar was happy with his words and they moved on. Some other day, again, they were walking in the garden. It seemed like Akbar was irritated. He said,"How bad the food was! Especially the vegetable made from brinjal. How distasteful it was! I never like Brinjal, you know." Birbal replied,"Of course, my Lord! It is the worst vegetable. No one likes it. I hate it the most when my wife makes me eat it." Now, Akbar was puzzled. He said, "Birbal! How mean you are! Some days ago, your opinion was different. Don't you remember your words now?" Birbal grinned and answered, "My Lord! I remember my words very well. But don't you remember that I am your servant and not the brinjal's?" The story tells us that boss is always right.

Another day, once more, they were walking in the garden. It seemed like Akbar was irritated. He said,"How terrible the food was! Especially the vegetable made from brinjal. How distasteful it was! I never liked brinjal, you know." Birbal replied,"Of course, my Lord! It is the worst vegetable. No one likes it. I hate it most when my wife makes me eat it." Now, Akbar was puzzled.
