The Clever Answer Title: The Clever Answer Characters: Emperor Akbar, Birbal, Courtiers Setting: Akbar’s Royal Court Narrator: So, my little friends, one fine morning, Akbar was sitting on his grand throne.

[Pause for children to guess the question] Akbar: "Birbal, tell me-how many crows are in my kingdom?" Akbar: "Birbal, tell me—how many crows are in my kingdom?" Narrator: Oh dear! That’s an impossible question. The courtiers gasped. How could anyone count all the crows in the kingdom? But Birbal, oh, he didn’t even blink! Birbal: "Your Majesty, there are exactly fifty-three thousand three hundred and forty-two crows in your kingdom." [Simplified to: "Your Majesty, there are many, many crows in your kingdom."] Akbar: "And what if I find more crows than that?" Birbal: "Then, Your Majesty, some crows have come to visit their relatives here." Akbar: "And if there are fewer?" Birbal: "That simply means some of our crows have gone on vacation to another kingdom!" Narrator: The entire court erupted in laughter. Akbar clapped his hands and said, "Birbal, you never fail to amuse me with your intelligence. Well, done!"

Takeaways: • Quick thinking can turn a problematic situation into an opportunity. • Humor and wit can defuse tension and win admiration. • Smart solutions do not always need complex answers.

Try these juicy apples and oranges. They’re perfect for your fruit group,” said Mr. Berry. Next, they visited Grandma Green’s veggie stand. Timmy picked up a bunch of carrots. “Are these good for our plate?” “Carrots are wonderful! They make your eyes strong,” Grandma Green replied. At the bakery, Ella found whole-grain bread. “This can be for the grain group!” she exclaimed. They walked to the fish stall, where Captain Jack offered them fresh fish. “Protein for strong muscles!” Captain Jack said. Finally, they stopped by Daisy’s Dairy Stand. Daisy handed them a bottle of milk. “Milk is great for your bones and teeth!” she said.

The kids, Kendrick Jr., Anna-Louise, and Kenton, shouted with excitement, eager to go outside. But before they could head out, Mom, Robin had some exciting news to share. She smiled and said, 'I'm pregnant, and today we'll find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. Anna-Louise guessed, 'It's a girl!' while Kendrick Jr. insisted, 'It's a boy!' Little Kenton, with wide eyes, asked, 'Where is the baby?' Mom Robin chuckled and explained, 'It's in my tummy, and it will be here in a few short months.' With that, Kendrick Sr. announced, 'Alright everyone, let's head outside for some fun!' The kids cheered and rushed to finish their snowman. Outside, Kendrick Jr. and Anna-Louise worked on the snowman, adding a scarf and a carrot nose. Meanwhile, Kenton lay on the ground, making little angels in the snow. 'Look, I'm making a baby angel,' he giggled. Robin watched her children play and said, 'Aww, Kenton, that's so sweet.' Kenton then began to build a tiny snowman and proudly declared, 'Look, I'm making a baby snowman.' After playing in the snow, the family went inside for hot chocolate and cookies. Robin pulled out a secret envelope while everyone sipped their drinks. Kendrick Sr. asked, 'Alright everyone, who wants to open the envelope?' The kids shouted, 'Me! Me! Me!' Robin smiled and said, 'Let's all open it slowly together.' As they opened the envelope, they saw a tiny card with big blue letters saying, 'It's A BOY!!!'

Boy introducing the world to his village

One sunny morning, as the golden rays of sunlight danced through the trees, Chuppy gathered his friends Benny the Dreamer and Sophie the Wise. They met at their favorite spot—a grassy hill overlooking the village. The gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and a feeling of excitement filled the air. “Guys, I’ve been thinking!” Chuppy exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. “What if we start a community garden? We could grow fruits and vegetables for everyone in the village!” Benny’s eyes lit up. “That’s an amazing idea, Chuppy! Imagine all the delicious food we could grow! We could have a big feast!” Sophie nodded thoughtfully. “It sounds wonderful, but we need to plan carefully. A garden takes hard work and dedication.” As they discussed their plans, a shadow fell over them. It was Cuddles McFur, the greedy cat who lived at the edge of the village. With his sleek fur and a smirk that always seemed up to no good, Cuddles had his eyes on the village’s resources. He was known for his cunning ways and his desire to control everything. “What are you three up to?” Cuddles asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Chuppy stood tall, determined not to let Cuddles intimidate him. “We’re planning a community garden! It will help everyone in the village!” Cuddles chuckled, his eyes narrowing. “You think you can just take over the land? You’ll need my permission to use any area for gardening. And I don’t think I’ll allow it.” Sophie frowned. “But Cuddles, this is for the whole village. It’s not just about us; it’s about helping everyone.” “Helping? Ha! You’ll learn that nothing comes for free. If you want to succeed, you’ll have to work hard for it—or better yet, you should just give up now,” Cuddles sneered, turning to leave.
