Akbar Birbal Ki Kahani | जादुई लकड़ियाँ | Magical Sticks Story | Birbal's Intelligence Story | EP 3

"A lie cannot remain hidden." The court was filled with

laughter on a golden morning. The entire court was laughing

at Birbal's words. In the midst of all this, a rich and angry

merchant entered the court shouting. And he said, "You are here joking in the court,

while there is theft in your kingdom. And you don't even have a clue about it. Seeing this act of the merchant,

the king became furious. And in anger, he said, "No one has ever talked to me

with such insolence before." Do you know what the

consequences of this can be? Soldiers, arrest him now. The soldiers stepped

forward and took him in chains. Then the merchant said to the king, "Is this how justice is served?" Innocent people are thrown into prison. And thieves are kept in the palace. All the people in the court

were amazed to hear this. Even the soldier started

scratching their head. And then the emperor asked him, "What is the meaning of this?" Do you know that last night

there was a theft in my house, and that thief is none other than

one of your servants. Akbar became angry and said, "Idiot, are you not in your senses?" "How dare you point your finger

at the people of my palace?" Don't you have any idea that if this turns out to be false,

you could face lifelong imprisonment. Your Majesty, I am well aware of this. After coming here, without any

reason, accusing your faithful servant could be fatal for me. If I am making this claim keeping the risk

in mind then there must be some truth to it. Emperor Akbar pondered over this. And said, "Hmm." Your statement seems to be correct. What event has made

you reach the conclusion that you think this was

done by a worker at the court. That merchant told him that Yesterday night, he made a big deal

and was returning through the jungle. Suddenly, the wheel of his cart broke. At that moment, some courtiers

were passing by there. And they offered to help him. The merchant took his goods

and went with them. And they took him to their home. Because it was already late at night. So he asked the courtiers to rest there. But when the merchant

woke up this morning, he noticed that his

gold coins were missing. Now you tell me, Your Highness,

if my suspicion is justified or not? The king paid attention

to the merchant's words. And without wasting any time,

immediately went to Birbal. Birbal find out who

committed this shameful act. And after that, I will

punish him so severely that nobody dares to

think of stealing again. Birbal immediately

formulated a plan in his mind. He instructed all the servants to

come to the rich merchant's house. As soon as he arrived,

Birbal asked everyone, "I am giving you a chance

now, if you admit to the crime." "Then come forward and your

punishment will be reduced." When no one came forward, Birbal

took out some small sticks from his pocket, and gave them to the servants. Seeing this, everyone was confused. Then Birbal said, "This is not just any stick, It's a stick of justice." Everyone was surprised to hear this. And they started asking what it meant. Then Birbal said, "This stick has the magical

power to deliver justice." So tonight, when you

sleep, put it under your pillow. And if any of you have stolen anything, by tomorrow morning, the stick

will have grown two inches longer." This will expose the truth and

distinguish between right and wrong. Everyone was surprised to hear this. And everyone went back to their homes. As soon as it got dark, everyone

followed Birbal's advice and placed the log under their beds. But a servant became very worried. He couldn't sleep all night

because he committed the robbery. He thought about it and said,

"They'll catch me tomorrow." "I must do something." Then he came up with an idea. He cut the log two inches shorter

and put it between the beds. Then he went to sleep without worry. The next day, everyone in the

court was eager to learn the truth. All the servants stood in front of

Birbal with their logs. Birbal looked at them

carefully and examined... and then looked straight at the real thief. This is the merchant's thief. Hearing this, the thief became angry. "What are you saying?" he exclaimed. Do you have any proof? [Chuckles] This is not stick of justice at all. You made it two inches shorter out of fear

that it might grow two inches larger. And your foolishness was caught. As soon as Birbal said

this the robber trembled. And he started asking

for forgiveness from Akbar. Forgive me, your Majesty. The thought came to my mind

because of greed for money. I needed a lot of money in a short time. So, I thought of stealing. Forgive me, I will never

repeat such a mistake. The Emperor praised Birbal's idea a lot. And he said to the thief, "And

you, you have brought shame to me." That is why your punishment is this. That you roam around the

village with your face painted black. So that everyone knows

how big a sin stealing is. And lying to cover it

up makes it even worse. But remember one thing. "A lie never remains hidden." And the truth always prevails. So what did we learn today? "That no matter how hard you try, you cannot hide the truth for long."
