Emperor Akbar and his minister Birbal were very good friends. Birbal is famous for his wits & wisdom hence he had a special place in the Emperor's heart.
One evening, Akbar and Birbal were sitting in the garden and discussing about official matters. A maid brought a plate of banana and some juice for them. In the course of their talk, slowly one after the other, the bananas were vanishing from the plate.
Akbar played a mischief by placing all the banana skins in Birbals side. When the conversation was finished, Akbar showing the banana skins on Birbal's side told "Birbal, you have eaten so many bananas!"
To this Birbal politely replied "Aalampana, i have eaten only the bananas leaving the skin but you have eaten the skin too"
Akbar was once more got impressed by Birbal's wit and they laughed heartily.
