| 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! |

Here is a short story.
Once a lion lay fast asleep in the Ranathambore forest of Rajasthan. Some mice were playing hide and seek near him. One mouse got trapped under the lion’s paw. The lion woke up, laughed loudly, and let the mouse go!
After some days the mouse heard the lion’s roar. He saw that the lion lay in great pain as he was tied with many ropes. The mouse used his sharp teeth and cut the rope. ‘‘You are a true friend,’’ said the lion.
From Aesop’s Fables
A friend in need is a friend indeed
