Birbal had an idea. He suggested putting up a sign near the trees that said, 'Beware! The fruits are protected by magical birds. If you steal them, you will be cursed!'

Word spread quickly about the magical birds. Everyone in the kingdom was scared to go near the trees. But there was no such thing as magical birds. It was just a clever plan by Birbal.
