Let's read:
The king of Kings, Emperor Akbar, who ruled over India was a great lover of arts, sciences, literature and music.
রাজাদের রাজা, সম্রাট আকবর, যিনি ভারতে শাসন করেছিলেন তিনি ছিলেন শিল্প, বিজ্ঞান, সাহিত্য এবং সংগীতের একজন মহান প্রেমিক।
One day, on a fine morning, he was walking in his vast garden.
একদিন, এক সুন্দর সকালে, তিনি তাঁর বিশাল বাগানে হাঁটছিলেন।
His garden was lined with trees that produced the tastiest and juiciest fruits in the whole kingdom.
তাঁর বাগানটিতে ছিল সারিবদ্ধ গাছ যা সমগ্র রাজ্যে সবচেয়ে সুস্বাদু এবং রসালো ফল উৎপন্ন করত।
There were flowers of all shapes and sizes in his garden.
তাঁর বাগানে সমস্ত আকার এবং আকৃতির ফুল ছিল।
He had his most trusted and favourite minister Birbal with him.
তাঁর সাথে ছিলেন সবচেয়ে বিশ্বস্ত এবং প্রিয় মন্ত্রী বীরবল ।
But the great Emperor Akbar did not have peace of mind, the quality without which no one, not even the king of kings, can appreciate beauty.
কিন্তু মহান সম্রাট আকবরের মনে শান্তি ছিল না, যে গুণটি ছাড়া কেউ, এমনকি রাজাদের রাজাও, সৌন্দর্যের প্রশংসা করতে পারেন না।
Wise Birbal, noticing this, asked Akbar, 'O great and powerful King, what is troubling you? You do not seem to be your usual self, for my king never fails to: enjoy the beauty of the greatest kingdom this earth has ever seen!
Akbar replied, "Birbal, my dearest friend, you are right. There is indeed a riddle that has been troubling me. An idle thought, which came to me in passing. is now my cause of worry. I am troubled because I cannot find an answer to a simple question what is the fastest thing on this planet?"
Birbal said, 'Is that all, your Majesty? Call your courtiers together. Let us see if one of them can answer. If not, then I am certain I can tell you of the fastest thing on the planet.
At the King's court, many heard the question that was troubling Akbar. Most
were puzzled. Some said, "bullock carts, others said, 'horses' But Birbal just smiled
at them.
After everyone had failed to satisfy Emperor Akbar, Birbal offered to answer his question. He said, "Your Majesty, it is the human mind!' To prove it, he said, 'Let the people of our kingdom present a problem to me. I shall show you how fast I can solve it using the powers of my mind alone!
A man came forward from the audience. He claimed that his neighbour had sold him his well. Now, when he wanted to draw water from the well, his neigh bour wanted to charge him money for it. After being summoned to the court, his neighbour argued that he had just sold him the well, not the water in it.

The neighbour realised that he was outwitted and withdrew his claim immediately.
All around, people were amazed at the wisdom of Birbal and the speed of the human mind that has the ability to solve a problem instantly Truly, there was nothing faster than it.
