One afternoon, the emperor asked Birbal, "How many bangles does your wife wear?" Birbal said he doesn't know. You don't know? said the king. You see her hands each day while she serves you meals. Still you fail to tell the number of bangles she wears? Why is that?
"Jahanpanah, Let us go to the garden", said Birbal, "then I'll tell you".
Both of them went down the staircase that paved way to the garden. Then Birbal raised a question to which the emperor grinned and quickly changed the subject. What did Birbal say?
