His family was starving.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Birbal told the king that the Brahmin was ready to do anything for the sake of money.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The king ordered the Brahmin to be inside the frozen pond all through the night without any attire if he needed money.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The poor Brahmin had no choice. The whole night he was inside the pond, shivering.

When it was possible for a person to receive warmth from a light that was a kilometer away, then it is possible for this khichdi, which is just a meter away from the source of heat, to get cooked.</b>"</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Akbar understood his mistake. He called the poor Brahmin and rewarded him 2000 gold coins. </div> </div>
