Lakshmana's Caring Line
Before Lakshmana left to help Rama, he wanted to keep Sita safe.
He drew a careful line on the ground near the hut. "Please stay inside this line," he said kindly. "It will keep you safe until we return."
The line was made with love, like a fence around someone we care about.
Rules like this are not to spoil our fun. They are made to protect us, just as a seatbelt or a crossing signal keeps us safe.
Lakshmana cared, and so he made a safe boundary for Sita.
Safety rules are made with love, to keep us protected.
