"Hasty Punishment Once when Akbar was riding near a mango grove, an arrow whizzed past him. His soldiers rushed into the grove and caught hold of the archer, a young man, and brought him before Akbar. ""Why did you try to kill me?"" Akbar shouted at the youth.

""Put him to death in the same manner he tried to kill me,"" he ordered to his soldiers.

Akbar, who had calmed down by now, realized he had been unfair to the youth and ordered his soldiers to release him. The young man bowed and thanked the king & Birbal ."
