Akbar and his entourage are on horseback; they need water. The boy Birbal offers to draw water for them. "Give me your name," says Akbar. Birbal replies, "Give me your name." Akbar is shocked. He asks, "Do you know who I am?" Birbal says he does, but that Akbar does not know the name of his village's priest. "So where then is the greatness of kings?" Impressed, Akbar gives Birbal his ring as a token to bring to court in the future and then rides off.
