The Proud Pundit's Challenge
A Multilingual Boast
Once upon a time, a very learned Pundit visited the court of 
King Akbar. This Pundit was very proud of his ability to speak 
many different l a n g u a g e s. He claimed that no one could 
identify his mother tongue due to his mastery of numerous 
languages.
An Unbeatable Skill?
The Pundit's linguistic skill was so great that no one could 
determine his first language. The Pundit then challenged 
everyone in the court to guess his mother tongue, confident 
that his skill would make it impossible. But the court was full of 
clever people!

That night, Birbal quietly went to the Pundit9s room while he was asleep. 
He gently whispered in the Pundit9s ear and tickled him with a f e a t h e r to 
get a reaction.

discovered the truth. He was 
eager to know how Birbal solved 
this mystery.
Birbal's Wisdom
Birbal explained that when a 
person is in a difficult situation, 
they will naturally speak in their 
mother tongue. It's human 
nature to revert to comfort in 
moments of stress.
