An Abusive Cattleman and Heartfelt Justice : Akbar Birbal Stories

Going out for some fresh air (Akbar and Birbal New Stories)

In the land of Akbar, 

Tired of his wife's complaints, Birbal goes out into the village for some fresh air. As he walks through the tiny roads of his village, he sees a group of friends singing and having a good time and sharing stories, a mother feeding her child, a policeman helping an old man, and all sorts of good things. 

He thinks to himself, 

'What a lovely day' 

'The village is so peaceful and the people are so kind to each other, it's like reading a story where all the people in the village are kind and helpful'

He walks by as people greet him. 

Akbar suddenly appears in Birbal's way,

Birbal: Greetings, your majesty,

Akbar: Good day, isn't it Birbal? 

Birbal: Yes your highness, it's really a good day. 

Akbar: Here, come with me, let's walk along.

Akbar and Birbal start walking together watching the good views the village has to offer.

Suddenly, they see that a cattleman is beating a calf without mercy while the mother cow cries in pain.

Akbar: Birbal, do you see this? Apprehend this man right now. 

Birbal immediately thinks about a way to make the man aware of his mistake.

Akbar: Can you not hear me, Birbal? Or do you want me to call my soldiers and arrest the both of you? (Akbar shouts angrily!)

Birbal (with a little smile on his face): I have a suggestion, why don't you give me until tomorrow and I will teach the cattleman a lesson.

Akbar: It better be a good one or I will teach you a lesson, a lesson of obedience. 

Akbar and Birbal go to their homes. The next morning, Birbal goes to the school where the cattleman's son, Chintu studies. He meets his teacher and tells him to act as if he is beating Chintu for not doing his homework.

Birbal then goes to the cattleman's house and tells him that a teacher is beating Chintu mercilessly.

The Cattleman rushes to the school and hears Chintu crying loudly. The cattleman started crying after hearing the cries of his son. Rushingly, he enters the room and finds out that Chintu is not being beaten and it is all a drama.

As he turns back, he sees that Akbar and Birbal are sitting behind him. 

Birbal: When you heard that someone was beating your child, you rushed to save him and even started crying yourself, imagine how the cow felt when you were beating its calf in front of its eyes. 

The cattleman realized his mistakes and apologized for his behavior. The moral of the story is that before you do any harm to other living beings, put yourself in their place and see how you might feel about it.
