One Day a scholar came to the court of Emperor Akbar and challenged Birbal to answer his questions
and thus prove that he was as clever as people said he was.
Both the emperor and Birbal had had a difficult day and were impatient to leave.
"Well, then, tell me," said the man, "which came first into the world, the chicken or the egg?"
"The chicken," replied Birbal. "Ask me one difficult question," said Birbal.
"We had agreed you would ask only one question and you have already asked it" said Birbal and he and
the emperor walked away leaving the scholar gaping.
He asked Birbal: "Would you prefer to answer a hundred easy questions or just a single difficult one?"
"How do you know?" asked the scholar, a note of triumph in his voice.
