On one fine sunny day, Akbar and Birbal were taking a leisurely walk in the palace gardens. Suddenly, Akbar thought of testing Birbal’s wits by asking him a tricky question.  Emperor asked Birbal, “How many crows are there in our kingdom?”  Birbal could sense the amusement in the king’s voice, and within a few minutes  Birbal replied, “My king, there are eighty thousand nine hundred and seventy-one crows in our kingdom”.  Surprised and amazed, Akbar further tested Birbal, “What if we have more crows?”  Birbal replied, “Oh, then the crows from the other kingdoms must be visiting us’’.  “ What if there are lesser crows?” asked Akbar.  “Well, then some of our crows must be visiting other kingdoms”, replied Birbal with a grin on his face.  Akbar smiled at Birbal’s great sense of humour and wit.

  King   Krishnadevaraya loved horses and had the best collection of horse breeds in the Kingdom. Well, one day, a trader came to the King and told him that he had brought with him a horse of the best breed in Arabia. He invited the King to inspect the horse. King Krishnadevaraya loved the horse; so the trader said that the King could buy this one and that he had two more like this one, back in Arabia that he would go back to get. The King loved the horse so much that he had to have the other two as well. He paid the trader 5000 gold coins in advance. The trader promised that he would return within two days with the other horses. Two days turned into two weeks, and still, there was no sign of the trader and the two horses. One evening, to ease his mind, the King went on a stroll in his garden. There he spotted Tenali Raman writing down something on a piece of paper. Curious, the King asked Tenali what he was jotting down. Tenali Raman was hesitant, but after further quest...

  The great king KrishnaDevaRaya had a lot of wise ministers in his court. The wisest of them was Tenali RamaKrishna. One day, a merchant came to the king’s court from a foreign kingdom. He saluted the king and then said, “Your Majesty, I have heard from many people that you have very wise ministers in your court. But with your permission, I would like to test the wisdom of your ministers.” This aroused the king’s interest and he gave the merchant his permission. The merchant gave the king three dolls that looked identical. He said, “Though these dolls look similar, they are different in some way. If your ministers can find out the difference, I will bow to their wisdom. But if they can’t, I will assume that there are no wise ministers in your court. I will be back in thirty days for the answer.” The king asked all of his ministers except Tenali RamaKrishna to assemble. He gave them the three dolls and told them to find the difference in them in three days’ time. But at the end of ...

Tenali RamaKrishna was once walking along a forest path when he was stopped by a merchant. “I’m looking for my camel which has strayed away. Did you see it passing by?” asked the merchant. “Had the camel hurt its leg?” asked RamaKrishna. “Oh yes! That means you have seen my camel!” said the merchant.  “Only its footprints. See, you can see footprints of an animal with three legs,” said Raman, pointing out the footprints on the ground. “It was dragging the other leg because it was hurt in that leg.” “Was it blind in one eye?” RamaKrishna asked the merchant. “Yes, yes,” said the merchant eagerly. “Was it loaded it with wheat on one side and sugar on the other side?” asked RamaKrishna. “Yes, you are right,” said the merchant.  “So you have seen my camel!”  exclaimed the merchant.  Raman looked upset. “Did I say I saw your camel?”  “You have given the exact description of my camel,” said the merchant. I saw no camel,” said RamaKrishna.  “Do you see those plants...

There was an old owl that lived in an oak. Everyday he saw incidents happening around him. Yesterday he saw a boy helping an old man to carry a heavy basket. Today he saw a girl shouting at her mother. The more he saw the less he spoke.  As he spoke less, he heard more. He heard people talking and telling stories. He heard a woman saying that an elephant jumped over a fence. He also heard a man saying that he had never made a mistake.  The old owl had seen and heard about what happened to people. Some became better and some became worse. But the old owl had become wiser each and every day.   Moral of the story :  You should be observant, talk less but listen more. This will make you a wise person. 

                                                  A lion was once sleeping in the jungle when a mouse started running up and down his body just for fun. This disturbed the lion’s sleep, and he woke up quite angry. He was about to eat the mouse when the mouse desperately requested the lion to set him free. “I promise you, I will be of great help to you someday if you save me.” The lion laughed at the mouse’s confidence and let him go. One day, a few hunters came into the forest and took the lion with them. They tied him up against a tree. The lion was struggling to get out and started to whimper. Soon, the mouse walked past and noticed the lion in trouble. Quickly, he ran and gnawed on the ropes to set the lion free. Both of them sped off into the jungle. Moral: A small act of kindness can go a long way.
