Once Emperor Akbar became very angry at his favorite minister Birbal. He asked Birbal to leave the
kingdom and go away. Accepting the command of the Emperor, Birbal left the kingdom and started
working in a farmer’s farm in an unknown village far away under a different identity. As months passed,
Akbar started to miss Birbal. He was struggling to solve many issues in the empire without Birbal’s
advice. He regretted a decision, asking Birbal to leave the empire in anger. So Akbar sent his soldiers to
find Birbal, but they failed to find him. No one knew where Birbal was. Akbar finally found a trick. He
sent a message to the head of every village to send a pot full of the wit to the Emperor. If the pot full of
wit can not be sent, fill the pot with diamonds and jewels. This message also reached Birbal, who lived
in one of the villages. The people of the village got together. All started talking about what to do now?
The wit is not a thing, which can be filled in the pot. How will we arrange for diamonds and jewels to
fill the pot and send to the Emperor? Birbal who was sitting among the villagers said, “Give me the pot,
I will fill the wit in one month’s end”. Everyone trusted Birbal and agreed to give him a chance. They
still didn’t know his identity. Birbal took the pot with him and went back to the farm. He had planted
watermelons on his farm. He selected a small watermelon and without cutting it from the plant, he put
that in the pot. He started looking after it by providing water and fertilizer regularly. Within a few days,
the watermelon grew into a pot so much that it was impossible to get it out of the pot. Soon, the
watermelon reached to the same size as the pot from inside. Birbal then cut the watermelon from the
vine and separated it with the pot.
