The Mighty Bow
King Janaka had a giant, ancient bow. It was so heavy that no one could even lift it.
"Whoever can lift and string this bow may marry my daughter Sita," said the king.
Strong men tried and tried. The bow would not move an inch. Everyone sighed.
Then calm young Rama stepped forward. He was not proud, and he was not scared. He simply believed in himself.
Gently, Rama lifted the mighty bow with ease! The whole court cheered. Sita's face lit up with a happy smile.
Believe in yourself calmly, and you can do great things.
