The Golden Crop

Once an attendant in Akbar’s court while dusting, broke one of Akbar’s favourite flower vase. When he was questioned, the servant did not admit his mistake and lied to avoid punishment. But the truth was found out and servant was expelled from Akbar’s court because of the lie. Birbal argued that it is general human tendency to lie, not just to cover flaws or bad deeds but also to not to break the other person’s heart.
