Once Akbar went to the river with his two sons
and wise Minister Birbal. On the bank of the river, Akbar and his two sons took
off their clothes and asked Birbal to take care of them while they took bath in
the river.
Birbal was waiting for them to come out of the
river. All the clothes were on his shoulder. Looking at Birbal standing like
this, Akbar felt like teasing him, so he said to him, "Birbal, you look
like as if you are carrying a washerman's donkey load."
Birbal quickly retorted, "Sir,
Washerman's donkey carries only one donkey's load, I am carrying three donkey's
load." Akbar was speechless.
