Birbal kept
looking for such a man everywhere until he found one.
He happened to be a poor guy desperate enough to risk a cold night to have the gold coins.
Akbar, hearing the news, sent his trusty guards to make sure that the poor guy stayed in water for the whole night. Surprisingly, the next morning, the poor man came to Akbar after completing his challenge,
sound and healthy, and demanded his much awaited reward. Akbar couldn't believe it and asked how he managed to spend the whole night out there. The poor man talked about a light post that he saw around the lake which he kept in focus all night.
He believed that by keeping his attention focused on the lamp,
he managed to avoid thinking about the cold.
To his surprise,
Akbar refused to give him the gold coins as he used lamp's energy to keep himself warm.
The poor man,
disappointed and hurt,
informed Birbal. Birbal didn't make it to the court next day. When
Akbar inquired,
Birbal conveyed the message that
he
couldn't
make
it
unless
his khichdi(早餐) was ready. After waiting for
several
hours, Akbar along with his guards went to visit Birbal.
