Akbar Bad Shah went for a walk one day with his favorite minister Birbal. On the way they saw a wild woman sitting under a tree and getting tired.
After some time, while going back towards the fort, the woman gave birth to a child, wrapped the child in cloths , cleaned the birth place and went on her way carrying the child.
Seeing this, Akbar Bad Shah thought it was so easy to deliver a child.
When he came home , he told his begum, who was pregnant, that she did not need any attendants , she had to do her own work , and directed them to do other work.
Begum, who was heavily pregnant, was not used to doing her chores and was in a lot of trouble.
Unable to bear it, one day Birbal asked for help.
Birbal decided how to tell Akbar Bad Shah about such a delicate matter.
After thinking, a trick hit.
He told the gardener in the fort not to water the plants for a few days.
Akbar, who was used to strolling in the garden one day, noticed that the plants were wilting and dying. Immediately, the gardener got angry to tell the matter.
The gardener Birbal said that he was not watering the plants as per the order.
Angered, Akbar summoned Birbal. "If the plants don't have water, what will they do ?" He shouted angrily.
Birbal then slowly said , “ Bad Shah! Did not the big trees in the forest grow without the help of the gardener , without watering every day ? Also, why are there so many servants for the gardens in our fort ?” He said.
Immediately Akbar became enlightened. Birbal understood the gentle hint and immediately sent the attendants to the queen.
