[Pause for children to guess the question] Akbar: "Birbal, tell me-how many crows are in my kingdom?" Akbar: "Birbal, tell me—how many crows are in my kingdom?" Narrator: Oh dear! That’s an impossible question. The courtiers gasped. How could anyone count all the crows in the kingdom? But Birbal, oh, he didn’t even blink! Birbal: "Your Majesty, there are exactly fifty-three thousand three hundred and forty-two crows in your kingdom." [Simplified to: "Your Majesty, there are many, many crows in your kingdom."] Akbar: "And what if I find more crows than that?" Birbal: "Then, Your Majesty, some crows have come to visit their relatives here." Akbar: "And if there are fewer?" Birbal: "That simply means some of our crows have gone on vacation to another kingdom!" Narrator: The entire court erupted in laughter. Akbar clapped his hands and said, "Birbal, you never fail to amuse me with your intelligence. Well, done!"
