Stick Of a Thief
He called all seven servants and told them that a mighty magician has given him few magic sticks and he wants all seven of them to take one stick each to their house with them tonight, only to bring it back in the morning. Then he told them that if they are not the thief than they have got nothing to worry, because only thief's stick will grow by an inch over the night. Next morning when they returned with their sticks, Birbal found that one servant's stick was an inch shorter. That servant had cut it in the fear that his stick must have grown an inch by night. Thus Birbal found his man and asked his soldier to arrest the thief and hand him to the merchant . -Shail Agrawal Nathaniel
Nathaniel woke up yawning, "I'm half asleep," he said, So his left half went down to breakfast And his right half stayed in bed.

Wisest minister at Akbar's Court; Birbal was often called to dispense justice . Once a rich merchant came to Akbar and requested for his help and justice because a bag full of money was stolen from his house. Akbar called Birbal. Birbal asked the Merchant-'Whom do you suspect?' Merchant replied that he thinks it could have been one of his servants; but whom could he point out without being sure in his own mind. He hasn't seen anybody stealing. Birbal said, 'Don't worry, if one of your servants is the 'thief', we would easily find him out.
