      Akbar-Birbal Tales - Tanvir Khan

      Pandit's Mother Tongue

      In the kingdom of Emperor Akbar there was an eminent pandit. He was very knowledgeable and proficient in many languages. He was reputed all over the empire. He thought of himself as a very wise man who could not be fooled. One day he came to visit Akbar’s court. He claimed that he could answer any question asked of him by Akbar’s ministers.

      Akbar asked his ministers and courtiers to ask as many questions as they could and in different

      languages to the pandit. One by one the courtiers asked the pandit questions in diverse languages. The pandit answered all the questions in the language in which they were asked. Throughout he remained calm, composed, and sure of his wisdom.

He said he would tell the pandit’s mother tongue by next morning.

      That night Birbal went to the pandit’s house. He sneaked into the pandit’s room when the pandit was fast asleep. He took a leaf of grass and tickled the pandit’s ear with it. The pandit’s sleep was disturbed a little. He opened his eyes, then turned and slept again. Birbal tickled the pandit’s ear again. Again the pandit went back to
