A Touch of Sweetness
A Touch of Sweetness
One day,
Birbal saw his neighbour, Raghuram, yelling at a fortune-teller, asking him to
go away. Birbal asked the fortune-teller, “Why did he drive you out?” The
fortune-teller said, “I asked him to stop being greedy as that would lead to
his downfall. I advised him to donate alms to the poor. How could I hide the
bitter truth?” “We shall offer him a dose of sweet truth,” said Birbal, and
whispered his plan. Next day, the fortune-teller walked by Raghuram’s house,
disguised as an old man. Raghuram welcomed him. After studying his palm, the
fortune-teller said, “You are fortunate, son! If you give alms to the poor, you
will be highly prosperous!” Raghuram was happy with what he heard. He gave the
fortune-teller a bag of gold coins. The fortune-teller met Birbal and said,
“Thank you for teaching me that more than the truth, it’s how you present it.
That matters a lot.”
