image.png 2.41 MB
One day, Emperor Akbar asked Birbal, "Can you bring me a pot full of wisdom?" Birbal immediately took an empty pot, went out into the city, filled it with a small gourd (or simply left it empty, depending on the version), and brought it back to the court. 
  • The Lesson: When Akbar looked inside, he was confused. Birbal smiled and said, "A wise man always keeps space for more learning."
  • Moral: Wisdom has no bounds, and one must always be prepared to learn.
