One day, all the courtiers from Akbar’s court were gathered in the assembly hall when one of them told the Emperor that all his valuables had been stolen by a thief the previous night.
This shocked the Emperor to his core as the place where that courter stayed was the most secured in the kingdom. The Emperor thought that it is not at all possible for an outsider to enter into the courtier’s house and steal the valuables. Only another courtier could commit this crime. He quickly called Birbal to identify the thief.
Birbal thought for a while and successfully solved the mystery by identifying the thief in just one statement.

Birbal said, I know who has done this, in fact he is present here right now, there is a straw in his beard.
This stunned everyone. While all the courtiers stood still, one of them (Alim Khan) quickly ran his hand up and down his discoloured beard to pull out the straw (that never existed) before anybody else could see it Birbal saw him doing this and pointed out at him declaring him the thief thereby solving the mystery.
