I am your Servant not Carrots

Once a merchant came to King Akbar's court and offered many gifts to the King. In that there was a bagful of carrots.

Carrot was the newest vegetable (hitherto unseen) to that place. Palace Chef made every recipe with a dash of carrot. Carrot took the very special place in the dinner of the day. The dinner was very delicious

Tasting the carrot for the first time, Akbar became joyous and his happiness knew no bounds. "There would be no better vegetable than Carrots in the creation of God", praised the King. The next seater Birbal "Yes my Lord Carrot is the most wonderful vegetable that I have ever seen" joined praising along with the King.

King Akbar himself got so much pleased with the vegetable and everyday wouldn't pass without carrot-made recipe. Almost every dish would have the carrot in one form or another like grated or minced.

Days passed by . By daily taking the carrot flavoured foods King Akbar got some kind of aversion to the vegetable now. One day he got fully tensed against the carrot on seeing it served on the table. He immediately fall upon the serving assistants, "Take away, Take away, is this a vegetable worth serving here" Saying this he turned to Birbal.

Now Birbal told the King Akbar, "Yes my Lord, this is the worst vegetable, it is not even fit to be called as a vegetable"

King Akbar gave a momentary thought for a while and said, "Birbal, the other day you were praising a lot for this vegetable How come today you are talking against it"

Birbal humbly said, "Lord Yes you are right my Lord, I am your servant and not carrot's."

Presence of mind helps, never panic
