King Akbar sometimes had strange quirks. One day, for no apparent reason, he slapped the man standing next to him. He turned out to be Birbal, the highest-ranking person at court. Birbal waited for a few seconds, probably wondering what to do, but something had to be done! And so he turned around and slapped the man standing next to him. It turned out to be one of the ministers. He was simply taken aback: “What’s going on? What kind of joke is this? Then, without thinking twice, he imprinted his palm on the assistant’s cheek...
They say that this slap went around the entire capital. And at night Akbar was suddenly hit by his own wife. He asked:
- What are you doing? And she answered:
“I don’t know what’s the matter, but this is happening all over the capital. Your elder wife hit me today. But she is older than me, so I could not answer her in the same way. And besides you, I have no one to hit.
“Wow,” Akbar said thoughtfully. “My slap came back to me.”
