Why not act like a bird?

  • Akbar wants to play a trick on Birbal: all courtiers (hens) get an egg out of the pond, but Birbal doesn't. Knowing he's been tricked Birbal climbs the wall and crows (like a rooster).
    • "The Egg Hunt" in "A Caravan from Hindustan - the complete Birbal tales from India” by James Moseley, p. 88f
  • Caught while eating the pears of a neighbor, Nasrettin Hoca climbs up the tree and acts as a nightingale.
