Hanuman Carries the Mountain
Hanuman said, "I will get the healing plant!" and leaped far away to the mountain.
But when he arrived, he saw many, many plants. "Which one is the healing plant?" he wondered. He did not want to bring the wrong one.
So clever, strong Hanuman had a big idea. "I will carry the whole mountain, so the healers can pick the right plant!"
With his great strength, he gently lifted the entire mountain and flew back through the sky.
Hanuman would do anything to help his friend Lakshmana get better.
A true helper finds a way, no matter how big the task.
