Rama the Good Listener
King Rama loved to listen to his people.
Anyone could come to him — a farmer, a child, an old woman — and Rama would listen carefully to every word.
He never said, "I am too busy." He looked into their eyes, nodded kindly, and truly heard them.
"When we listen," Rama said, "people feel loved and understood."
Because Rama listened so well, he always knew how to help. Good listening made him a wonderful and caring king.
Listening carefully shows others that you care.
