One night the Great emperor Akbar had a dream. In his dream he saw that all his teeth fell except one.
Akbar could not make out the significance of the dream. So next day, he invited all his trusted the astrologers to interpret this dream.
The astrologers sat to interpret the dream and finally reached a conclusion - the dream told that all relatives will die before Akbar. One tooth which remained signified Akbar's life.
The astrologers went and told their interpretation to the emperor.
Hearing this his heart sank. He became remorseful and concerned about his family. He sent the astrologers away without giving them anything.
The day passed by. Akbar could not rest. He was puzzled and even refused to have food.
In the evening Birbal came. Akbar told his dream to Birbal too and asked him to interpret it.
Birbal thought for a minute and then replied, 'My Majesty, your dream had an auspicious meaning. It meant that you will live a long and fulfilled life than any of your relatives'.
Akbar was relieved to hear Birbal. He had a grant feast with him and rewarded him heavily.
