Mahabharatha

Mahabharatha is a very old story that tells the tale of two big families in a place called India a very very long time ago. The families are called "Pandavas" and "Kauravas". They were cousins but they were not friends.

The story tells us about how the Pandavas and Kauravas fought against each other in a big war. This war was fought because the Kauravas took away everything from the Pandavas, their kingdom, their land, and even their wife! It was a very mean thing to do.

The story also tells us about a man named Krishna who was a very important person in the story. He was a very smart person and helped the Pandavas in their fight against the Kauravas. He also taught them many important lessons in life.

The Mahabharatha is a very long story, but it teaches us many important things like being kind to others, helping other people in need, and fighting for what is right. It is a very popular story in India and is loved by many people even today!
