Convert the stories into dialogues and read the dialogues aloud in the class. (One is done for you.)

Answer»
  • Emperor Akbar: (With a serious expression.) I have a question for all of you. What should be the punishment for someone who pulls my moustache.
  • One Nobleman: Flog him! Give him fifty lashes of the whip. 
  • Second Nobleman: That’s not enough. Put him in jail without food and water. 
  • Third Nobleman: Whip him! Beat him up! Fourth Nobleman: Hang him! 
  • Fifth Nobleman: Cut off his offending hands. 
  • Akbar: What do you say Birbal? What is your opinion. 
  • Birbal: In my opinion, given of peace to the world, the offender should be given his favourite sweetmeats. 
  • Courtiers: Raja Birbal, are you out of your mind? Give sweetmeats for such a grave offence.
  • Birbal: Yes, who would be so bold as to pull the Emperor’s moustache? Only his own grandson.

(Akbar burst out laughing as it was exactly what had happened in the morning.)
