Akbar was once in a naughty mood and dressed up as a demon and confronted Birbal. He first welcomed the King, then laughed at him, thereafter he became serious and started thinking something. Akbar was observing Birbal. He was sure Birbal would be scared but no such thing happened. He then asked Birbal, “It is Strange that you recognized me and laughed, but suddenly you become serious And started thinking.” Birbal said, “Your Majesty, it is true that I found your posture funny but then Wondered who had scared you so much for you to put on that guise to hide your identity?” Upon hearing this Akbar started laughing and went away.
