Story: Birbal Ki Khichadi

The story revolves around a poor villager who spends a cold winter night inside freezing river water just to win a reward offered by Akbar. When the King refuses to give the reward, arguing that the villager stayed warm by looking at a distant street light, Birbal teaches the King a clever lesson by putting a pot of khichadi far above a small fire. This chapter is important for board exams as it tests reading comprehension, vocabulary, and moral understanding.
