The monkeys stood at the edge of the great sea. Sita was on an island far away called Lanka. But the sea was wide and deep.
Old Jambavan said, "Hanuman, you have forgotten how strong you are. You can leap across!" Hanuman felt his power come back. He grew big and strong.
With Rama's name on his lips, Hanuman leapt into the sky and flew over the waves. A sea monster tried to stop him. Clever Hanuman became tiny, slipped past her and flew on.
In Lanka, Hanuman found Sita sitting under a tree, sad but brave. He gave her Rama's ring. "Rama is coming soon," he said.
Ravana's guards caught Hanuman and set his tail on fire. But the fire did not hurt him! He jumped from roof to roof, and Lanka's golden towers began to burn.
Then Hanuman flew back over the sea. "I have seen Sita," he told Rama. "She is safe, and she is waiting for you." Rama hugged him with joy.
The moralBelieve in yourself. You are stronger than you think.
Talk about it: When did you do something you thought you could not do?
