This little squirrel has love in his heart.” Your strength or what you do is not important. He said to the monkeys, “Do not make fun of the weak and the small. Then Rama held the squirrel close to him. The squirrel, crying out the name of Rama, fell into his hands. The monkeys were angry and one of them picked up the squirrel by his tail and threw him far away. He carried the pebbles again from the shore to the sea. “But I want to help, too,” said the squirrel and would not go. Think we can build a bridge with pebbles? He has a big army to help him. My heart cries out for Rama and I’ll do all I can for him.” He said, “Look, I can’t carry mountains or rocks. The squirrel did not think this funny at all.

Oh dear! Oh dear! I’ve never heard a funnier story.” The other monkeys laughed too. “The squirrel is building a bridge with his pebbles. “Did you hear that!” he said to the other monkeys. “You, what?” shouted the monkey and laughed aloud. “I’m sorry you nearly fell, Brother Monkey,” he said in his small voice, “ but please always look where you are going. The little squirrel looked up at the great monkey. “Here, you little thing,” shouted the monkey in a voice like thunder, “you’re in my way, I stepped back and you’re alive now. He carried the pebbles from the seashore and dropped them into the sea.Ī great monkey was carrying a large heavy stone on his back and the squirrel came in his way. The little squirrel could carry only little pebbles at a time in his small mouth. He was going up and down the seashore with little pebbles in his mouth. One day, Rama saw a small brown squirrel. “How hard they work! Their love for me makes them work like this,” thought Rama. Thousands of monkeys worked night and day. They cut them into shape and began to build the bridge. The monkeys pulled out rocks and heavy stones from the mountains, and carried them to the sea. Rama asked his army to build the bridge over the sea. Lord Rama and his army of monkeys were preparing for war with Ravana.
