Birbal was jester, counsellor, and fool to the great Moghul emperor, Akbar.
The villagers loved to talk of Birbal's wisdom and cleverness,
and the emperor loved to try to outsmart him.

Yet within moments the emperor and everyone else present had to agree that Birbal had made the line shorter without erasing any of it.
