Birbal was not just blessed with a clever mind. He also had a different way of looking at every situation. He had a positive attitude. One morning, Akbar was upset with a dream he had. He sent for many renowned astrologers. When they all reached his palace, he asked them to interpret the dream he had the previous night. “I dreamt that all my teeth, except one, had fallen out. What does that mean?” The astrologers made some calculations and arrived at a conclusion. All of them were of the opinion that Akbar’s relatives would all die before he. Akbar was not happy to hear this. He sent them all away. Birbal saw that Akbar was sad and things were getting worse. He said, “Cheer up, Your Majesty! The dream means that you will live longer than all your relatives!” Akbar smiled and nodded. Once again, Birbal had made his day.
