Answer:
Birbal was then a young boy living in a village. He was very clever and could write poetry. He thought he would try his luck in the King’s court. So he took some of his poems and set off for the city.
When he reached the outer gate of the palace, he was stopped by the gatekeeper. “Hey! Stop there! Where are you going?”, shouted the gatekeeper.“I am a poet. I want to see King Akbar and show my poems to him”, replied the poet.
“Oh, you are a poet! The king is kind, he will surely give you a prize. I will let you in if you give me 1/10 of your prize”.Young Birbal agreed since he had no other way.
When he went in, the gatekeeper calculated “If he gets 100 gold he will get 10 coins,The poet reached the second gate. The gatekeeper said, “I will allow you to see the
king only if you give me half of the prize that you get”. The poet had no other way. He
agreed and went inside.
The gatekeeper thought, “Today is a great day. If he gets 100 gold coins I will get 50
gold coins. But if he gets 1000 coins — wow!
I will get 500''.
The poet came to a last gatekeeper. This gatekeeper also said, “I will let you in if
you give me 4/10 of your prize”. The poet agreed.The gatekeeper happily calculated, “The poet will get at least 100 gold coins so I will
get 40 gold coins!
