The Silver Coin

One day, a coin fell from Beerbal's pocket onto the ground. He bent down and started searching for it. This was an excellent opportunity to make fun of a clever person like Beerbal. 

"Oh king, see how miserly Beerbal is!" a courtier declared to Akbar. "You have given him so much wealth, but he is still searching for one silver coin."

"Emperor," said Beerbal, "I'm not worried about that coin but about the figure of your face on that coin. I'm searching for it so that no one accidentally puts their foot on it." 

"Beerbal, you are ingenious," said Akbar, roaring with laughter.
