Once upon a time, Birbal was late in coming to the court. King Akbar was eagerly waiting for Birbal. As soon as Birbal reached the court, Akbar asked him the reason for the delay. Birbal started saying that today when he was leaving the house, his small children stopped him and insisted not to go anywhere. Somehow, after persuading the children, there was a delay in leaving.
The king could not believe these words of Birbal at all, he thought that Birbal was making a false excuse of coming late. He told Birbal that convincing the children is not such a difficult task. If they do not agree, they can be pacified by a little scolding.
At the same time, Birbal was aware that it is very difficult to fulfill the innocent questions and stubbornness of children. When Akbar was not satisfied with this, he suggested a solution to Birbal. He put a condition in front of the king, he said that he can prove that small children are very difficult to understand, but for this he will have to behave like a small child and make the king understand them. The king agreed to this condition.
The very next moment Birbal started crying and crying like a child. The king lifted him in his lap to persuade him. Birbal sat on the lap and started playing with the king's long moustache. Sometimes he would spoil his face like a child and sometimes he would start pulling his moustache. Till now the king was not having any objection.
When Birbal got tired of playing with his moustache, he insisted on eating sugarcane. The king ordered sugarcane to be brought for Birbal who became a child. When sugarcane was brought, Birbal took a new insistence that he wanted peeled sugarcane. The sugarcane was peeled by a servant. Now Birbal started shouting loudly that he wanted sugarcane cut into small pieces.
To fulfill his insistence, the sugarcane was cut into small pieces. When the king gave these pieces to Birbal to eat, Birbal threw those pieces on the ground. The king got very angry seeing this. He angrily asked Birbal, “Why did you throw the sugarcane down? Eat it quietly. Birbal started crying and screaming even more loudly after hearing the scolding.
Akbar asked lovingly, “Say Birbal. Why are you crying? Birbal replied, "I want a big sugarcane, not a small one." Akbar brought him a big sugarcane, but Birbal did not even touch that big sugarcane.
Now the anger of King Akbar was increasing. He said to Birbal that "According to your insistence, you have been given a big sugarcane, why are you crying after not eating it?" Birbal replied, "I want to eat a big sugarcane by joining these small pieces." Hearing this stubbornness of Birbal, the king held his head and went to his place and sat down.
Seeing them upset, Birbal stopped pretending to be a child and went before the king. He asked the king, "Now do you agree that it is certainly a difficult task to make children understand?" The king nodded in yes and started smiling at Birbal.
Learning from the story - From this story we get to know that children are very innocent. Often we are not able to answer their innocent questions, but still their stubbornness and curiosity can be pacified by lovingly explaining them and giving many examples.
