Rama was sad. Sita was taken away, and no one knew where she was. The monkey army searched everywhere, but no one had found her.
Then came Hanuman. He flew high into the sky and crossed the wide ocean with one powerful leap. He searched all around Lanka, bravely and quietly.
Finally, he saw a garden full of flowers. In the middle sat a sad, gentle lady. It was Sita! She looked thin and tired. She sat under a tree, praying for Rama.
Hanuman slowly came closer. He spoke kindly. “I am Hanuman, Rama’s messenger,” he said. “He sent me to find you.” Then he gave her Rama’s ring.
Sita’s eyes filled with tears. She was so happy to hear about Rama. She gave Hanuman her hairpin to take back to him.
Hanuman promised, “Rama will come. You are not alone.”
Moral: Helping someone feel hopeful is a special kind of kindness.
Parent Tip: Teach your child to notice when someone is sad and say, “I’m here for you.”
