Punctuate the passage. Remember to use necessary punctuation marks and capital letters.
One day, Akbar was travelling in his kingdom with Birbal. He saw a woman cradling a child. He said to Birbal, "How ordinary that child looks." But that woman loves him as if he is the most beautiful child in the world. Birbal replied, "Your Majesty, she must be his mother. To every mother, her child is the most beautiful in the world."
But Akbar was unconvinced with Birbal's answer, so Birbal called the emperor's guard and asked him to bring the most beautiful child in the world.
The guard brought his own child to the emperor. "How do you know that he is the most beautiful in the world?" Akbar asked.
The guard replied, "When I told my wife what you had said, she asked me to take our child to you."
