Let us enjoy reading this one of Birbal Stories of Noble Beggar.
Emperor Akbar asked Birbal if it was possible for a man to be the lowest and the noblest t the same time. "It is possible," said Birbal. "Then bring me such a person," said the emperor. Birbal went out and returned with a beggar. "He is the lowest among your subjects," he said, presenting him to Akbar. "That might be true," said Akbar. "But I don't see how he can be the noblest." "He has been given the honor of an audience with the emperor," said Birbal. "That makes him the noblest among beggars."
