Emperor Akbar had a passion for hunting. So one day he asked Birbal to accompany him to the jungles. After a full day of hunting King Akbar decided to rest in that jungle. Soon he heard two owls hooting loudly. Akbar wanted to know what were they talking about.

“Birbal, what do you think those two owls are saying to each other?” he asked.

“How?” asked the emperor puzzled.
