Answer:
Once a rich merchant’s house was robbed. The merchant suspected that the thief was one of his servants. So he went to the Police and mentioned the theft.the Police went to his house and assembled all of his servants and asked that who stole the merchant’s things. Everybody denied.
the Police thought for a moment, then gave a stick of equal length to all the servants of the merchant and said to them that the stick of the real thief will be longer by an inch tomorrow. All the servants should be present here again tomorrow with their sticks.
All the servants went to their homes and gathered again at the same place the next day. the Police asked them to show him their sticks. One of the servants had his stick shorter by two inches. the Police said, “This is your thief, merchant.”
Later the merchant asked Birbal, “How did you catch him?” Birbal said, “The thief had already cut his stick short by two inches in the night fearing that his stick will be longer by two inches by morning,so all I had to find was the shorter stick.”
This is originally an Akbar-Birbal tale.
