The Ballads Of Akbar And Birbal

15• The Spear And The Shield⚔

Once when The King Akbar
Had a special visitor who made,
Strong spear and shield like
Strongest metal and sharpest blade.

He claimed, "Your Majesty, I can
Make spears that can pierce,
Anything coming in its way
It is something that everyone fears."

"And I can prepare shields that
Can never break apart,
Nothing can pierce my shields
This is my master art."

But Birbal said, "I think,
My friend, I can prove you wrong.
To me your spears and shields
Does not seem that strong."

"No, that's impossible Huzoor,
How can you prove it?"
"Take out a shield and I will use,
A spear of your's that I feel fit."

"If your spear pierce the shield
So your second claim will fail.
And if it can not then that means
Your first statement was a false tale."

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.
