Birbal & Sherkhan

The Begum of Shahenshah Akbar always used to wonder that why Bribal is so favorite of her husband. She felt that her brother Sherkhan was much worthier of becoming the Vazir (Prime Minister) in Akbar's courtroom. Often she used to pester her husband to remove Birbal and appoint her brother Sherkhan as the Vazir. Annoyed by her persistence, one day Akbar asks Birbal to step down for few days and appoints Sherkhan as the Vazir. 

After few days, when three of them were sitting in the garden, Akbar hears the bells ringing. He sends Sherkhan to see what they are about. He runs out, comes back and informs that about 50 bullock carts are going. Akbar further asks, what are they carrying? Sherkhan shunts and informs they are carrying rice. At what rate? Next by Akbar. Now Sherkhan was too tired to run out and come back.

In arrives Birbal at the point. Akbar asks Birbal about why the bells are ringing. Birbal answers that the bells were of about 50 bullock carts, carrying very high quality of rice from the south, the rate is very reasonable, so he has purchased all the rice and has come to inform Akbar about the same.

The Begum realizes her mistake and Akbar happily reinstates Birbal as the Vazir and also offers him a reward.

Management Learning:

Whenever you are required to face a situation, assess it from all the sides, before arriving at a conclusion. Once assessed, initiate all the necessary actions simultaneously to reap the benefits of the situation. A complete assessment from all the angles will always bring you the benefits.
