One fine morning, a minister from Emperor Akbar's court gave a complaint to him in the assembly
hall.
He informed the Emperor that all his valuables had been stolen by a thief the previous night.
Akbar was shocked to hear this because the place where that minister lived was the safest place in the
kingdom. He invited Birbal to solve the mystery. Then Birbal said "It is definitely not possible for an
outsider to enter into the minister's house and steal the valuables. This blunder is definitely committed
only by another minister of that court." Saying so, he arranged for a donkey to be tied to a pillar. He
ordered all the courtiers to lift the donkey's tail and say "I have not stolen." Birbal added "Only then
we can judge the culprit.” After everyone had finished, he asked the courtiers to show their palm to
him. All the courtiers except Alim Khan had a black patch of paint on their palm. Birbal had actually
painted the donkey's tail with a black coat of paint. In the fright, the guilty minister did not touch the
donkey's tail at all. Thus Birbal once again proved his intelligence and was rewarded by the king
with 1000 gold coins.
why was akbar shocked soon after receiving the complaint?
identify the true statement from the following.
1) Bribal discerned that alim khan was responsible for theft
2) the courtiers were there with a black paint
3) Alim khan was there without any stain
