One day emperor Akbar asked Birbal, 'Is it possible to be noblest and lowest at the sane time?'
Birbal agreed that it is possible. Hearing this, Akbar asked him to bring such a person as an example to testify his statement.
Next day Birbal came to the royal court with a beggar. He told Akbar that the beggar was lowest among all of his subjects.
Akbar replied, 'Birbal, certainly he may be lowest. But can you prove him to be the noblest?'
Birbal smiled wittingly and said, 'My majesty, this lowest beggar has the honor of having an audience with the Great Emperor. This makes him the noblest among the beggars'.
Akbar smiled and said, 'Agreed Birbal!' He rewarded both Birbal and the beggar.
