The king of kings, Emperor Akbar , who ruled over India was a great lover of arts, sciences,literature and music . One day, on a fine morning , he was walking in his vast garden . His garden was lined with trees that produced the tastiest and juiciest fruits in the whole kingdom. There were flowers of all shapes and sizes in his garden. He had his most trusted and favorite minister Birbal with him.
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.
Wise Birbal, noticing this, and asked,'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 greastest kingdom this earth has even seen'.
Akbar replied, 'Birbal, my dearest friend , you are right. There in indeed a riddle that has been troubling me . An idle thought , which came to me a passing, is now my cast of worry. I am trouble because i cannot find a answer to a simple question-what is the fastest thing in this planet?
Birbal said,'is this all,your Majesty? Call your courtiers together. let us see if one of them can answer . If not, then i am crtain i can tell you of the fastest thing on the planet.
