It so happened once that once a rich merchant's house was robbed. The merchant suspected that the thief was one of his servants. He tried to find out the thief was on his own, but failed. So he went to Birbal and explained the whole incident in detail. Birbal went to his house and assembled all of his servants in the front hall and asked that who stole the merchant's things.
Everybody denied. Birbal thought for a moment, then gave a stick of equal length to all the servants of the merchant and said to them that “The stick of the real thief will be long by two inches tomorrow”. All the servants should be present here again tomorrow with their sticks.
All the servants went to their homes and gathered again at the same place the next day. Birbal asked them to show him their sticks. One of the servants had his stick shorter by two inches.
Birbal said, "This is your thief, merchant.

This is one of my favorite books! I read it when I was 10 or so years old… And later I was looking to read it again. Interesting, that after so many years from the first time I had read it, I still remember some of the stories. Also as I lived in India for 7 years, been many times in Red Fort and Fatihpur Sikri - both places, built by Akbar… And as I really love history and stories. It makes this book perfect!
I think it is mast to read, for all kids. So nice and wise stories! Love them!
