On a sunny day, Emperor Akbar walked into the palace gardens with Birbal, his trusted advisor. They loved a good joke, and mischief often followed them.

Akbar turned to Birbal and asked, "How many crows are in our kingdom?"

Birbal, always quick with numbers and jokes, replied, "There are exactly eighty-thousand-nine hundred and seventy-one, Your Majesty."

Impressed, Akbar asked, "What if we have more crows?"

Birbal grinned, "They must be tourists enjoying our hospitality!"

Akbar chuckled, "And if there are fewer crows?"

Birbal joked, "They're probably exploring other kingdoms—everyone needs a vacation!"

They laughed together, their bond growing stronger with each jest. In their kingdom, wit was treasured, and even the crows became stars in their comedic tales.

*The moral of the story is that wit and humour can lighten any situation and strengthen bonds between people. It teaches us to appreciate the value of cleverness and laughter in building relationships and navigating life's challenges with grace and positivity.
