  The Sadhu Akbar came to the throne when he was only thirteen years old. In the years that followed, he built on of the greatest empires of his time. He lived in unimaginable splendor. He was surrounded by courtiers who agreed with every word he said, who flattered him and treated him as if he were a god. Perhaps it was not surprising that Emperor Akbar was sometimes arrogant and behaved as if the whole world belonged to him. One day, Birbal decided to make the great emperor stop and think about life. That evening as the emperor was going towards his palace, he noticed a Sadhu lying in the centre of his garden. He could not believe his eyes. A strange Sadhu, in ragged clothes, right in the middle of the palace garden? The guards would have to be punished for this, thought the emperor furiously as he walked over to that Sadhu and prodded him with the tip of his embroidered slipper. "Here, fellow!" he cried. "What are you doing here? Get up and go away at once!" That...

 The Sharpest Shield and Sword A man who made spears and shields once came to Akbar's court. "Your Majesty, nobody can make shields and spears to equal mine," he said. "My shields are so strong that nothing can pierce them and my spears are so sharp that there's nothing they cannot pierce." "I can prove you wrong on one count certainly," said Birbal suddenly. "Impossible!" declared the man. "Hold up one of your shields and I will pierce it with one of your spears," said Birbal with a smile.

  The True King The King of Iran had heard that Birbal was one of the wisest men in the East and desirous of meeting him sent him an invitation to visit his country. In due course, Birbal arrived in Iran. When he entered the palace he was flabbergasted to find not one but six kings seated there. All looked alike. All were dressed in kingly robes. Who was the real king? The very next moment he got his answer. Confidently, he approached the king and bowed to him. "But how did you identify me?" the king asked, puzzled. Birbal smiled and explained: "The false kings were all looking at you, while you yourself looked straight ahead. Even in regal robes, the common people will always look to their king for support." Overjoyed, the king embraced Birbal and showered him with gifts.

Back to Square One As usual a lot of people were present in Akbar's durbar. A famous astrologer had come from a far away country. He was talking about the Solar System and the Earth's shape. At one point Akbar said, "If the earth is round, and if one travel strait towards one direction, he will come back to the same spot from where he has started the journey." "Theoretically it is correct", said the astrologer. "Why not in real life?", asked the king. "One has to cross oceans, mountains and forests to keep the path straight." the astrologer said.  "Sail through the oceans, make tunnels in the mountains and use elephants to cross the forests." Akbar found the solution. "Still it is impossible" said the astrologer. "Why?" Asked Akbar. "It may take years to complete the whole journey" said the astrologer "Years? How many?" asked Akbar. "I don't know. May be a hundred years or more...

 The Well Dispute Once there was a complaint at King Akbar's court. There were two neighbours who shared their garden. In that garden, there was a well that was possessed by Iqbal khan. His neighbour, who was a farmer wanted to buy the well for irrigation purpose. Therefore they signed an agreement between them, after which the farmer owned the well. Even after selling the well to the farmer, Iqbal continued to fetch water from the well. Angered by this, the farmer had come to get justice from King Akbar. King Akbar asked Iqbal the reason for fetching water from the well even after selling it to the farmer. Iqbal replied  that he had sold only the well to the farmer but not the water inside it. King Akbar wanted Raja Birbal who was present in the court listening to the problem to solve the dispute. Birbal came forward and gave a solution. He said " Iqbal, You say that you have sold only the well to the farmer. And you claim that the water is yours. Then how come you can keep y...

The Foolish Brahmin Once upon a time a foolish brahmin came to visit Birbal with a strange request. He wanted to be addressed as ‘pandit’.  Now, the term ‘pandit’ refers to a man of learning. But unfortunately this poor brahmin was uneducated. Birbal tried to explain the difference to him saying that it was not correct to call an uneducated man a pandit and because of this very reason it would be improper to call him so. But the silly brahmin had his heart set on this title.  So, as usual, Birbal had a brilliant idea. He said that as the brahmin was an uneducated man he should hurl abuses and stones at anyone who dared to address him by the very same title he wanted. Then Birbal called all his servants to himself and ordered them to call this lowly brahmin a pandit. The brahmin was very pleased.  But the moment the servants started calling out to him as ‘pandit’ he pretended to be very angry and started to abuse them loudly. Then he picked up a few stones and hurled them ...

Solar Eclipse: Sometimes the Moon moves between the Sun and the Earth so the three are in a straight line. The Moon blocks the Sun's light and part of the Earth is in the Moon's shadow. This is a solar eclipse. Discover what happens in a solar eclipse. What you need about Solar Eclipse... globe of the Earth ball with string attached (Moon) torch (Sun) Ploce the Eorth, Moon and Sun in line so that the Moon is in the middle. Turn on the Sun and observe the shadow that falls on a small part of Eorth. Rotote the Eorth so that the eclipse occurs where you live.

Day and Night: Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. As Earth spins, sunlight only falls on one-half of the planet. This means it is daytime on that side of Earth. On the other side, it is night. This way we have Day and Night. The apparent movement of the Sun across the sky is actually due to the rotation of our Earth. The Sun always appears to rise in the east and set in the west regardless of where you are on Earth. When the Sun rises, that part of the Earth is turning to face the Sun. When the Sun sets, that part of the Earth is turning away from the Sun. The Sun itself doesn't actually rise or set. Each planet spins around or rotates on its axis. Earth spins around at a speed of 1 600 km/h. Earth takes almost 24 hours to complete one rotation around the Sun. Because each rotation takes slightly less than 24 hours the calendar needed adjusting. Leap years add an extra day, the 29th February, to the calendar every four years so that the calendar aligns with Eart...

Seasons on Earth: Earth's revolution around the Sun creates the seasons. They are different in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Why do we have Seasons on Earth? Earth completes a revolution around the Sun over 365.25 days. It is this orbit, combined with the tilt on Earth's axis, which causes the seasons. The tilt, which is approximately 23.5 degrees, means that the Earth leans slightly towards the Sun. For part of the year, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun. During this time, the Sun is closer to the Northern Hemisphere. This means the Northern Hemisphere is in the direct path of the Sun's energy. As the Sun's rays hit Earth, they are concentrated, because they've travelled less distance through the atmosphere. The Sun rises higher in the sky and produces longer days. This is the Northern Hemisphere's summer. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun. The Sun's rays hit Earth at an angle. The Sun's energ...

Near-Earth-Objects: Near-Earth-Objects (NEOs) are small objects in the solar system. They have struck Earth in the past and will definitely hit again, but are we in danger of Near-Earth-Objects? The Earth has been hit by asteroids, comets and meteorites in the past. Scientists believe that when a large asteroid collided with Central America 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs became extinct. The collision threw up water and rock which hid the Sun and covered the Earth in darkness for months. Dinosaurs could not survive in the cooler climate. Of the Near-Earth-Objects, Most meteors are tiny and burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Even the ones that do get through and land as meteorites are mostly very small. The Earth's atmosphere protects us from all objects up to about 40 metres across. Asteroids pose a much bigger threat to Earth as they tend to be much larger objects. If an asteroid with a diameter of more than two kilometres hit the Earth, it would cause a catastrophic planetary...

 Our Solar System: The solar system is the Sun and all the different objects that orbit around it. These objects include the eight planets, their moons and asteroids and comets. Circling The Sun : The Sun is a star - which means it is a huge, spinning ball of hot gas. It is the only star in our solar system and it provides light and heat to the planets. The Sun's gravity is the force that holds the solar system in place and keeps the planets traveling around the Sun. The Planets : Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the four planets closest to the Sun. They are rocky planets with a metal core. The next four planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are gas planets. They have rocky cores covered by liquid or ice with layers of gas clouds on the outside. Moons are large rocky satellites that orbit a planet. Each planet has at least one moon, except for Mercury and Venus which don't have any. Asteroids are pieces of rock that orbit the Sun. Most asteroids are grouped together in...

The Little Girl And Mushrooms It was a fine summer morning, perfect to be outdoors. Two sisters had been out mushroom picking, and were on their home with heavy baskets full of mushrooms. They sang songs on the way, and played with each other. Soon they reached a point where they had to cross a railway track. They did not think twice about crossing it since there was no train coming, and they could not hear any whistle. They slowly climbed the embankment to cross the track, taking care not to drop the baskets. They were very near the track and the little sister was about the cross it, when they heard the distinct horn of a train. The older sister got frightened and ran back. She thought that the young one was following her. She turned back and was shocked to see her little sister still crossing the track. "Come back here, run back fast," she screamed. It seemed that the little girl could not hear her sister. She was still concentrating on stepping over the track with her litt...
