Birbal cured a prince’s greed for sweets by making desire walk on its own legs.

The prince hoarded laddus and ignored lessons. Birbal filled the classroom with trays and instructed pages to place one sweet on the prince’s desk every time he looked away from his book. Soon the mountain of sugar grew into a sticky fortress he could not escape without help. He laughed, shared the sweets, and learned the taste of enough.
