Kids' Puzzles - Trick Questions - 01 - Birbal the wise GEM

King Akbar once ruled over India.

  

He was a clever and sensible ruler. In his court, he had the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a specific skill.

  

One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom.

  

The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?

  

Tricky Question:

One day, a scholar came to the court of Emperor Akbar and challenged Birbal to answer his questions and thus prove that he was as clever as people said he was.

  

He asked Birbal, "Would you prefer to answer a hundred easy questions or just a single difficult one?"

  

Both the emperor and Birbal had had a difficult day and were impatient to leave.

  

"Ask me one difficult question," said Birbal.

  

"Well, then tell me," said the man, "which came first into the world, the chicken or the egg?"

  

"The chicken," replied Birbal, very confidently.

  

"How do you know?" asked the scholar, a note of triumph in his voice.

  

What did Birbal answer to this?
