5• The Straw In The Beard🧔

53 13 7
                                    

Once when The King Akbar
Was upset on losing his ring,
It was a gift from his late father
And was very precious to the King.

He searched it everywhere
But his investigations went in vain,
So then he called Birbal
To use somehow his brain.

Birbal stated a fact, "Your Majesty!"
"The ring is surely in the court,
Hence I can tell you something I know
And find the ring with your support."

"The person who has the ring..."
Birbal stated this aloud,
"...will also have a straw in his beard."
Chaos filled the whole crowd.

People started looking around
And murmurs filled the whole court,
But one minister out there
Was using all his efforts.

To find the straw before being noticed
All through his lengthy beard,
But then Birbal summoned him out
His behaviour was absolutely weird.

They found the ring in his robes
And Akbar even executed the man,
'Thief will always be the most scared'
This was Birbal's master plan.

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.
