| Emperor Akbar: (With a serious expression.) | I have a question for all of you. What should be the punishment for someone who pulls my moustache? |
| One Nobleman: | Flog him! Give him fifty lashes of the whip. |
| Second Nobleman: | That’s not enough. Put him in jail without food and water. |
| Third Nobleman: | Whip him! Beat him up! Fourth Nobleman: Hang him! |
| Fifth Nobleman: | Cut off his offending hands. |
| Akbar: | What do you say Birbal? What is your opinion? |
| Birbal: | In my opinion, given of peace to the world, the offender should be given his favourite sweetmeats. |
| Courtiers: | Raja Birbal, are you out of your mind? Give sweetmeats for such a grave offence? |
| Birbal: | Yes, who would be so bold as to pull the Emperor’s moustache? Only his own grandson! |
| (Akbar burst out laughing as it was exactly what had happened in the morning.) |
