One day Birbal entered the retiring chamber of Akbar, as he had some urgent work.
The Badshah who did not like anybody to encroach on his privacy, angrily said, “Why have you come here at this odd hour?”
“Your Majesty”, replied Birbal, “ I have to ask something about an important matter.”
“Birbal! I have no time to talk to you at present. Put it off till tomorrow”, said the Emperor impatiently.
“It does not matter”, said Birbal, “Your Majesty need not worry about it. I shall do all talking myself. You have simply to listen to my talk.”
The Badshah laughed at this witty answer and was pleased to give him audience.
