Once upon a time, a rich merchant was robbed in King Akbar’s kingdom. The grief-stricken merchant went to the court in search of justice. Akbar asked Birbal to help the merchant find the robber. The merchant told Birbal that he was suspicious that the thief might be one of his servants. On getting the hint from the merchant, Birbal summoned all the servants and told them to stand in a straight line. He then asked everyone about the robbery. As expected, everyone denied doing it. Birbal then handed over one stick of the same length, to each one of them. While dispersing, Birbal said, “By tomorrow, the robber’s stick will increase by two inches”. The next day when Birbal called everyone and checked their sticks, one of the servant’s sticks was short by two inches. Without wasting any time, Birbal declared that this servant was the thief. On being asked by the merchant about the mystery of finding the real thief, Birbal said, “It was simple: the thief had cut his stick by two inches, fearing that it would increase in size”.
