T0190. Birbal Tells an Endless Story

Akbar demands bedtime stories at night, and everyone is getting tired of his wanting more stories, new stories, endless stories. Birbal tells a story of a farmer who built a granary that was airtight. But there was a small hole big enough for a sparrow. She took one grain. And then? Another. And then? There are thousands of grains in the granary; it will take years to complete the story. Akbar says, "Enough already!"
