Five Fools

Once upon a time, there was a great king named Akbar. He had a minister named Birbal who was not only wise but clever also. He was one of the Gems of Akbar's court. He called Birbal one day and said.........

Akbar: Birbal as there are brilliant people in our state there may be idiots also. You go and find them.... Only five idiots. Follow my orders.

Birbal: Yes, My Lord.

Birbal was awestruck. He thought that brilliant people can be identified by conducting some competitions, but  to identify idiots is a tough job.

After two months Birbal returns back and tells Akbar that he found only two in the state.

              Akbar said but I asked for five.

Let me explain "me lord." I found this man carrying a gunny bag on his head and riding a horse. 

Birbal: Why are you carrying this bag on your head?

Man: If I put the bag on the cart. It will be overloaded. 

Birbal: He is the fifth fool, I found. 

He is the fourth fool 

I found who was

taking his cow to 

graze on the roof.

Akbar: Hmm next.

Where is the

 third fool?

Birbal: When there are so many problems in the Kingdom, I went out in search of fools rather than resolving those issues. Therefore I am the third fool.

Akbar: Next, what about the second fool?

Birbal: Instead of solving the problems of the Kingdom you are interested in the fools? Therefore, you are the second. fool. (Akbar laughs)

                                            Akbar: Yes, you are right.

                                            Where is the first one?

                                           Birbal:  Guess, those who are                                                reading  and wasting time                                                       in  looking for the first                                                             fools. 

Ha ha ha........................ this is your award.

           THE END
