Ramayan

Ramayan is a very old story that has been told in India for centuries. It talks about the life of a prince named Rama and how he goes on an adventure to rescue his wife Sita from a demon king named Ravana.

Rama is a very good guy who always tries to do the right thing. He is loved by everyone in the kingdom and he is chosen to become the next king. But one day, Ravana kidnaps Sita and takes her to his kingdom. Rama needs to rescue her and bring her back home.

He goes on a long journey with his friends, Hanuman and Lakshman, and they encounter many challenges on the way. They meet talking animals, fight monsters, and even have to cross a huge ocean. Eventually, they reach Ravana's kingdom and they fight a big battle to get Sita back.

In the end, Rama defeats Ravana and rescues Sita. They all return home and Rama becomes the king. The story teaches us that good always triumphs over evil and that we should always try to be kind and just like Rama.
