3• The Crows Count 🐦

Once when The King Akbar
Was having a sweet walk,
In his beautiful garden he
Noticed something, and was shocked

He was astonished to see the crows
Making noises all around,
He wondered how many of them

Are there on his ground?

He commanded the ministers to count
The numbers of crows on his land,
Everybody knew it was impossible
Up ministers stretched their hands.

But Birbal easily and happily
Accepted the task of those crows,
And requested at least 3 days while

The others crushed their eyebrows

King Akbar grew curious
To see Birbal resting in peace,
The days passed and the king asked
"Will you tell me the answer, please?"

Clever Birbal peacefully said
There are 3 thousand and 52 crows
Akbar questioned, "Are you sure?"
"What if the number grows?"

"Your Majesty!", said Birbal
"If the number of them increase,
That will show that we've got
Some guests from overseas."

"And if the number decrease"
Added Birbal sounding all fine,
"That means some of our crows
Have gone outside to dine."

No questions could arise after this
The answers were all done,
And Akbar was satisfied
By the answers that Birbal had given.

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.
