Once Akbar decided to hold a grand feast. He personally invited his courtiers and many others. It was a feast to be remembered and talked about. Attending a grand feast was worth walking even a hundred miles. Obviously, everybody flocked to the place. It was indeed a feast fit for Gods. All kinds of dishes and food delicacies were served. All the courtiers vied with one another to catch the emperor’s eye. As usual Akbar’s eye was on his favourite Birbal. He made Birbal sit next to him. He enjoyed the meal thoroughly as Birbal entertained him with his witty stories throughout the meal. After the meal, different fruits were served. Akbar and Birbal sat conversing together over a bowl of dates. While talking they kept throwing the date seeds under their chairs. Noticing the piles of dates under Birbal’s chair Akbar got an idea and thought of having fun at Birbal’s expense. He slowly pushed his heaps of seeds into that of Birbal’s with his foot. Birbal did not notice Akbar doing that. Suddenly, pretending to be surprised Akbar spoke loudly, “Birbal! I did not know you were so greedy. Is it wise to eat so many dates?” There was a hush. Everybody stopped talking and turned to look at Birbal. Birbal peeped under his chair and saw a huge heap of date seeds while there was nothing under the king’s chair. He understood it to be Akbar’s pranks. Akbar was waiting to see as to how Birbal would tackle the embarrassing situation. Unnerved, Birbal turned towar. Why does Emperor Akbar playing ‘prank’ with Birbal? What is the function of Birbal in Akbar’s court?
