Mughal King Akbar and Five Idiots

Mughal King Akbar

During the period of Mughal Empire, King Akbar asked his closest minister to bring 5 most idiotic people who lived in his empire. He gave one month to minister. After one month the minister only brought two idiots. King Akbar asked why did you bring only two idiots? He said, if you allow, let me present each of the idiots. King gave him permission.

The minister brought first idiot and said that he is idiot because I saw him traveling on a truck. He was on truck but he still had the stuff on his head instead of putting it in the back of the truck.

He brought the second idiot and said that he is idiot because he was trying to get his cow on the top of the roof. I asked him why are you doing that? He said I am going to slaughter the cow on the roof. I said why don't you slaughter the cow downstairs? He said because the knife is on the roof.

King Akbar asked who is the third idiot? The minister said that I am a minister of one of the most influential empires. But I was asked to find 5 idiots in a month and I only found two. Instead of working on important things I wasted one month finding idiots. That means I am the third idiot. The king got curious.

He asked who is the fourth idiot? The minister said that I will answer this if you ensure that no one will harm me. The king said that your life is safe. The minister said I am sorry king but you are the fourth idiot. You have a vast empire to take care of and instead of focusing on your management you sent your minister to find idiots. So you are the fourth idiot. The king got even more curious and asked who is the fifth idiot?

The minister said that the fifth idiot is this person who is reading this article. Instead of working on his homework, schoolwork, job work, or any other basic life work he/she is wasting time here. And he/she is the most idiotic one because he/she is still reading the article.
