Emperor Akbar was very happy as his son Salim had a son. The king was very fond of his grandson. He spent hours playing with the child and had started neglecting the affairs of the state. Whenever he came to the court; he would discuss only his grandson. He used to say, “There is no child more beautiful than my grandson ." Everyone agreed with Akbar, except Birbal as they were scared of the king. Birbal remarked, " Huzur, the young prince is very beautiful, but all parents find their children beautiful."

Akbar became angry when he heard this. "How dare you say this, Birbal? No child is more beautiful than my grandson!" One minister then said, "Tomorrow, let us all bring a child who we think is beautiful. Then we can judge for ourselves."

To this, Akbar said, "If this is so, we can go and see the child in disguise ." So Akbar, Birbal and a few other ministers disguised themselves and went to, see the chi ld. Birbal led them to a small dirty hut where they saw a child playing on a heap of sand. All of them were shocked, as they had never seen an uglier child.
