Akbar and Birbal – Trollspöt
Once upon a time, a rich merchant was robbed in the Akbar’s kingdom. The merchant was very upset and wanted justice. He went to court and asked King Akbar for help.
TranslateEn gång blev en rik köpman i Akbars rike rånad. Handlaren var mycket upprörd och ville ha rättvisa. Han gick till hovet och bad kung Akbar om hjälp.
King Akbar said, “Dear Birbal, please help this man. Recover the money and jewellery for him.”
Birbal said, “Yes, my lord. Dear merchant. Is there anyone you suspect?”
TranslateKung Akbar sa, ”Kära Birbal, snälla hjälp den här mannen. Återfinn pengarna och smycken för honom. ”
Birbal sa, ”Ja, min herre. Kära köpman. Finns det någon du misstänker? ”
The Merchant said, “Oh dear Birbal, I believe that one of my servants must have done it since only they can enter my house. No one else can enter my house.”
TranslateKöpmannen sa, ”Åh kära Birbal, jag tror att en av mina tjänare måste ha gjort det eftersom bara de kan komma in i mitt hus. Ingen annan kan komma in i mitt hus. ”
Birbal went to the merchant’s house and asked the merchant to call all his servants. The servants stood in a straight line.
TranslateBirbal gick till köpmannens hus och bad köpmannen ropa på alla sina tjänare. Tjänarna stod i en rak linje.
Birbal said, “Among one of you is a robber. I shall give you each a magic stick. This stick belonging to all the innocent servants was not grow in length. The stick belonging to the guilty servant shall become longer by 2 inches.”
TranslateBirbal sa, ”Bland er finns en rånare. Jag ska ge var och en, en magisk pinne. Den här pinnen som tillhör alla oskyldiga tjänare växte inte i längd. Pinnen som tillhör den skyldiga tjänaren kommer att bli 2 tum längre. ”
The next day, Birbal called all the servants into the room and asked them to give their sticks. One stick was 2 inches smaller and the other sticks were of the same size.
TranslateNästa dag kallade Birbal alla tjänare in i rummet och bad dem att ge sina pinnar. En pinne var 2 tum mindre och de andra pinnarna var av samma storlek.
Birbal called the servant with the shorter stick and said, “This man is the thief.”
The merchant asked, “But how did you find out that he is the thief?”
TranslateBirbal ringde till tjänaren med den kortare pinnen och sa: “Den här mannen är tjuven.”
Köpmannen frågade: “Men hur fick du reda på att han är tjuven?”
Birbal said, “It is very simple. It is only an ordinary stick. The thief believed that the stick was a magic growing stick. So he broke off 2 inches so that it would remain the same size.”
TranslateBirbal sa, ”Det är väldigt enkelt. Det är bara en vanlig pinne. Tjuven trodde att pinnen var en magisk växande pinne. Så han bröt av 2 tum så att den skulle förbli lika stor. ”
Moral: Truth always prevails.
TranslateSanningen råder alltid.
