Hanuman Finds Sita

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.”

Sabari’s Sweet Berries

Sabari was an old woman who lived in the forest. Every day, she cleaned the path outside her small hut. She kept it ready — because she believed that one day, Lord Rama would come.

Many people laughed at her. “Why would Rama visit you?” they asked. But Sabari waited with love and faith.

One day, Rama did come. Sabari was filled with joy. She wanted to offer him fruits, but she had nothing fancy — just wild berries.

She picked each berry, tasted it first to check if it was sweet, and then kept it aside for Rama. When Rama arrived, she offered him those berries with trembling hands.

Lakshmana looked shocked. “She tasted them before giving?” he thought.

But Rama smiled and ate them happily. “These are the sweetest fruits I’ve ever tasted,” he said.

Sabari’s love made the berries special. Rama didn’t care if they were half-eaten. He only saw the love in her heart.

**Moral:** Love makes even the simplest gift beautiful.

**Parent Tip:** Celebrate your child’s homemade drawings, cards, or flowers — not their perfection, but their heart.

Lakshmana Builds a Home for Rama

When Rama was sent to live in the forest, Lakshmana and Sita went with him. They walked deep into the woods. There were no beds, no roof, and no house to stay in.

But Lakshmana did not complain. He didn’t wait to be told what to do. He quietly picked up strong branches and soft leaves. He found a place near a river and began building a hut with his own hands.

He worked hard while Rama and Sita rested. Soon, the hut was ready — strong, neat, and warm. It had space for them to sleep and be safe from the wind and rain.

Rama smiled with pride and hugged Lakshmana. “You are not just my brother,” he said. “You are my strength.”

Lakshmana was happy. He didn’t need any thanks. Helping his family gave him joy.

Moral: When we help our loved ones with care, it brings happiness to everyone.

Parent Tip: Let your child help fold clothes, set the table, or water plants. Appreciate their efforts warmly.
