Once Akbar put a question in his court that surprised everyone. While they were all trying to figure out the answer, Birbal stepped forward and asked what was the matter. And so they asked him the question.
‘How many crows are there in town?’
Birbal immediately smiled, went to Akbar and announced that the answer to his question was twenty-one thousand five hundred and twenty-three. When asked how he knew the answer,Then Birbal replied, ‘Tell your people to count the number of Kakes. If there are more, then Kake's relatives from outside the city have come to visit them. If less, Kakera has gone out of town to meet their relatives. ‘Pleased with the answer, Akbar gave Birbal a ruby and a pearl necklace.
Story parable:
Having an explanation of your answer is just as important as having an answer.
