Rama Teaches About Duty
Before Bharata went home, Rama sat with him for a talk.
"Ruling a kingdom is a big job," Rama said kindly. "Always listen to the people. Be fair. Help the poor. Care for everyone like family."
Bharata listened carefully to every word.
"Doing our duty, even when it is hard, is how we take care of others," Rama said.
Bharata promised to be a responsible helper for the kingdom until Rama returned.
Doing our duties with care is how we look after one another.
