Akbar-Birbal stories:: Load of Two Donkeys
Emperor Akbar with his son Saleem and Birbal was taking a round of his Kingdom on foot.
Akbar took off his heavy long coat and gave it to Birbal to hold it.
Little later Saleem also did the same. Both the long coats were heavy and Birbal’ data-faced difficulty in carrying them while walking.
Seeing Birbal’ s condition, Akbar made a joke at Birbal’s expense, “You Are now carrying a load of a donkey.” “No Majesty, I am carrying load of two donkeys”.
Akbar smiled at Birbal’s reply.
