Ram and the Squirrel - The Ramayana Story About the Contribution Nobody Noticed

from The Long Thread - Ancient Stories For The Present Moment. · host Ashvee Kanwar

Rama's army had arrived at the southern shore of India.Their task — build a bridge across the ocean to Lanka.Thousands of monkeys and bears worked day and night carrying boulders from the mountains.Among them — completely unnoticed — a tiny squirrel.She rolled in wet sand and shook herself over the rocks.Back and forth. Over and over.The monkeys laughed at her.One picked her up by the tail and threw her aside.She flew through the air crying out one name.And landed in a pair of cupped hands.New story every day.Follow so you never miss one.
