Helping the Forest Friends
Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana lived happily in the forest. Many gentle sages lived nearby.
Rama loved to help them. He carried water. He gathered firewood. He fixed their little huts.
"You do not have to help us," a sage said. "You are a prince!"
Rama smiled. "Helping others is the best thing a person can do, prince or not."
Every day, the three friends made the forest a kinder place by lending a helping hand.
Helping others, big or small, makes the world a kinder place.
