One day, Akbar and Birbal were walking in a garden. Many crows 
were flying in the sky around them. Akbar was 
curious to know how many crows there were. 
He announced a prize for anyone who could find this out.
People were wondering how to count crows which kept 
flying from one place to another. Akbar asked Birbal if he 
could figure this out.
After thinking for a day, Birbal said “There are exactly Nine 
Hundred and Sixty Three crows in our city”.
Akbar was surprised and 
asked Birbal, “How can you be 
so sure”?
“You can get them counted,” 
said Birbal.
“What if there are less?” asked Akbar.
“The other crows would have gone on a 
holiday,” said Birbal.
“What if there are more?” asked Akbar.
“Crows from other places would be visiting 
the city,” said Birbal.
Akbar was happy with Birbal’s reply 
and gave him the reward.
