THE THREE FOOLS
One day Akbar told Birbal to seek out and bring before him the three greatest fools in the Empire. A month later Birbal came to the court with a man.
Who is this asked Akbar?
A fool said Birbal. One day I was wandering to find fools and I came across this man. he was riding a donkey but was carrying load on his shoulders because he felt he should not overload the animal.
I see said Akbar. That is only one where are the other 2?
The second fool is myself said Birbal. Only a fool would have accepted an assignment to look for fools.
And the third?
“He is the one who sent me on this foolish quest.” Said Birbal.
