SBI Apprentice PYQ 2023 – 100 Question Test

Q26. Read the passage given below and answer the question.

King Akbar the Great and his courtier, the wise Birbal went to the forest for hunting. In their way, Birbal injured Akbar’s right hand’s thumb by a wrong move. Birbal apologised and said to Akbar, “Whatever happens, happens for good.” Akbar got angry at this and sent Birbal to jail with his bodyguards. Birbal readily agreed and went to jail. Angry Akbar went alone in the forest to hunt. He reached the denser part of the forest after some strolling and was captured by few tribal people. These tribals were worshipping their lord and were delighted to find they can offer their God with a healthy human. They decided to sacrifice Akbar. Akbar was hell scared, he could see his death. So he became morose. The tribals bathed him and were grooming him for the rituals when one of the aged tribal noticed the injured thumb and immediately stopped the sacrifice. He said to his fellows, “We cannot offend our God with an incomplete and injured offering. We so not want to face God’s wrath.” He ordered Akbar to be treated for his injury, fed and liberated. It was only then that Akbar realised that whatever happens, happens for good, better not regret. If not for this injury Akbar would have been dead. He went to Birbal and narrated him the whole incident. Birbal smiled and then smiled more. Birbal said, “Thank you Maharaj, you have saved my life, too.” Akbar exclaimed “How?” Birbal said “if you would have taken me to the forest with you, then those tribals would have released you, but sacrificed me as I was uninjured.” Both were delighted! This easily Birbal transformed his misery into happiness. Keep your faith up and enjoy every second of life.
