From the back of the book: One of the many stories from India featuring King Akbar and his favourite minister, Birbal. In this particular tale, the King offers a reward to anyone who will stand in a freezing river from sunset to sunrise without warming himself in an way - a challenger which is taken up by only one man, a poor Brahmin.
The read King Akbar, who ruled from 1556-1605, was one of the great Mughal emperors of India, and many fold tales are told about him.
Urdu text is also on the page with the English text.
