1. Whose servant (Akbar Birbal stories in English)
Whenever Akbar and Birbal were alone in the court, there was bound to be a debate on one or the other thing. One day, Emperor Akbar was praising the brinjal vegetable a lot.
Birbal was also saying yes to the emperor. Not only this, he used to say two or four sentences in praise of brinjal on his behalf.
Suddenly it came into the heart of Emperor Akbar how far Birbal fulfills his point. Thinking of this, the emperor started doing evil to brinjal in front of Birbal. Then Birbal also started adding yes to the emperor that eating brinjal causes physical diseases etc.
After listening to Birbal, Emperor Akbar was surprised and said – Birbal, we cannot believe this. Sometimes you praise brinjal and sometimes you do evil. When we praised it, you also praised it and when we criticized it, you also criticized it, why so?
Birbal said in a soft voice – King is safe! I am your servant, not the brinjal’s servant.
2. God does good whatever he does (Akbar Birbal stories in English)
Birbal was an honest and religious man. He used to worship the Lord daily without any absenteeism. This gave him moral and mental strength. He often used to say that whatever God does, he does it for the good of man. Sometimes we feel that God is not kind to us, but it doesn’t happen. Sometimes people even consider his boon as a curse. He gives us little pain so that we can avoid great pain.
A courtier did not like such things of Birbal. One day while addressing Birbal in the court, the same courtier said, “Look what God has done to me.” Yesterday afternoon, while I was cutting fodder for the animals, I suddenly got a finger cut off. Do you agree that God has done this good for me?
After being silent for some time Birbal said, I still believe in this because whatever God does, he does it for the good of man.
Hearing this, the courtier got angry that my finger was cut off and Birbal saw good in it too. Nothing like my pain. Other courtiers also echoed.
Then the emperor Akbar intervened and said, Birbal, we too have faith in Allah, but here we do not agree with you, there is nothing worth praising him in the matter of this court.
Birbal smiled and said, well, only time will tell.
Two months had passed, and the courtier whose one finger was cut off. He had gone hunting in the dense forest. One day while chasing the animal, he went to the tribal area. Those tribals believed in human sacrifice to please their deity. The courtier was then caught and taken to the temple to offer sacrifices, but when the priest inspected his body, he found a finger missing.
No, this man cannot be sacrificed. The priest of the temple said that if this 9-fingered man is sacrificed, then our gods will be angry with displeasure, they do not like incomplete sacrifices, we may have to face the outbreak of epidemics and floods or droughts. So it would be better to leave it.
And the courtier became free.
The next day he came to Birbal in the court and started crying. At the same time, the emperor also came to the court and was surprised to see that courtier weeping near Birbal.
What happened to you, why are you crying? Akbar questioned.
In response, the courtier narrated his ordeal in detail. He said that now I am convinced that whatever God does. He does it only for the good of man. If my finger was not cut off, the tribals would have sacrificed me. That’s why I am crying, but these tears are of happiness. I am happy that I am alive, it was my mistake to view faith in God with suspicion.
Akbar smiled softly and looked at the courtiers, who stood silently with their heads bowed. Akbar was feeling proud that a wise man like Birbal was one of his courtiers.

But Birbal did not answer the emperor’s question. Seeing him silently, the king said, Birbal, why are you silent?
Birbal said, Emperor, the best water is from the Yamuna river.
Hearing this answer of Birbal, the emperor was very surprised and he said, on what basis have you said this when in your religious texts the water of river Ganga is said to be holy and you are saying that the water of river Yamuna is the best.
Birbal said, King, how can I compare water with nectar. The water flowing in the Ganges is not just water but nectar. That’s why I said that Yamuna water is the best. The emperor and all the courtiers went unanswered and had to believe that Birbal was right.

Emperor Akbar, I will answer this question only after the war, said Birbal. After some time the army reached the battlefield. After reaching there Birbal said, Sir, now I answer your question and the answer is that victory will be yours.
Now how can you say that when the enemy’s army is also huge. The emperor expressed doubts.
The enemy rides on the elephant and the elephant throws the soil on himself with his trunk and is in his own fun, while you ride on a horse and call the horse a man of victories and it will never deceive you. Birbal said.

You are still here, go to your maternal home in the morning, otherwise, it will not be good. If you want, you can take your favorite thing with you.
Begum went on crying. He called Birbal. Birbal appeared in front of the Begum. The Begum told about the displeasure of the emperor and also told his order.
Begum Sahiba, if the king has ordered, then you have to go and if it is a matter of getting your favorite thing, then do as I tell. The displeasure of the emperor will also go away. Begum gave sleeping medicine to the emperor at night as instructed by Birbal and brought him to his maternal home in a sleepy palanquin and put him to sleep in a furnished bedroom.
When the emperor woke up, he was surprised to find himself in an unknown place. Called – someone?
His Begum Sahiba was present. Seeing Begum there, he understood that she was in his in-laws’ house. He asked angrily – you brought us here too, you gave such a big hoax.
It was you who said that you can take your favorite thing, that’s why you have brought it.
Hearing this, the king’s anger ended, and smiled and said. Surely Birbal must have told you this trick.
The Begum nodded her head in agreement.

When Birbal came to him, the emperor said. We lost our ring today. In the morning it was with us, on the way to the toilet I took it off and when I returned I saw that the ring was missing. Birbal kept listening silently.
The emperor further said I am sure that this work belongs to someone in the palace. Such an outsider cannot dare. Birbal, you know astrology very well. Then find the thief.
Before going to the toilet, Birbal asked the address of the place where he had kept the ring. Emperor Akbar pointed to a cupboard. Birbal went to that cupboard and after some time put his ear on it and pretended to remove it.
It was as if he was trying to hear something. After some time Birbal looked at the emperor and said. It is clearly written in the cupboard that the one who has the ring has a straw in his beard.
When Birbal’s word was heard by the Sardar sitting nearby, to whom the king had given the ring, he was terrified and started groping his face and beard. Birbal was already alert. Sardar’s actions could not remain hidden from him.
Immediately Birbal caught that chieftain and presented him in front of the emperor and said, Emperor, this is the thief of your ring. The king already knew this. He was very pleased with Birbal’s cleverness.
