Akbar Birbals Jokes

Once, in Emperor Akbar’s court a murder case was presented. The case being very complicated, it was postponed till the next day.
The next day the criminal came to Birbal and requested him to save him from the death sentence and to punish him by life imprisonment.
When the case was presented in the court he was really punished by life-imprisonment.
He came to Birbal with folded hands and said, “I am indebted to you, with much difficulty you got me life imprisonment.”
Birbal said, “Yes, there was much difficulty because the Emperor was going to set you free.”
