Story:
We conducted a quiz, the kids participated enthusiastically. We talked about Hanuman's return to India from Lanka. All the vanaras were excited to hear Hanuman's triumphant shout and started merry-making. They then made their way back to Kishkindha to give the news to Sri Rama. Hanuman, being humble, let Jambavan as the elder person to narrate everything to Sri Rama. But Jambavan requested Hanuman to relate everything and so Hanuman did. He also told Sri Rama of 2 little incidents that Sita had disclosed to him to confirm to Sri Rama that it is Sita indeed that Hanuman met with. So, Sri Rama and the vanara army make their way to the shore and start wondering how they will cross the mighty ocean. Meanwhile, in Lanka, Ravana is advised by his brother Vibheeshana and his wife Mandodari to give up Sita since it is adharma. He does not listen to them and asks Vibheeshana to leave him. Vibheeshana decides to go join Rama.
