《The Ballads Of Akbar And Birbal》9• The Hard Question❓🥚🍳
Advertisement
Once when The King Akbar
Summoned Birbal to the court,
And told him that, "A scholar
Needs some of your support."
"He says he is the smartest
And he can never lose,
I think you should try once
Your mastermind you may use."
Birbal agreed and the scholar
Asked a question for a start,
"Would you like hundred easy or
One hard question from my chart?"
"Oh, I would like the hard one."
Said the smart Birbal gently,
"Who came first the egg or the hen?"
The scholar asked fluently.
"I think the hen came
before the egg, my friend."
"And why not the egg? How can
You this surely pretend?"
"My dear, I said I'll answer
Only one from your hard list,
So I prefer not to answer this."
The scholar prepared a fist.
But what is the use of it now
The court was all aware,
That Birbal won and he lost
What he got were shameful glares.
So that's how 'The Clever Birbal'
Proved himself the smartest of all,
And with his great skills, he won
The hearts of the crowd in the hall.
