The Medicine Mountain
A battle broke out between Ravana's demon army and Rama's animal army.
Rama's guard and commander Lakshman was wounded during the fights, everyone assumed he would die before sunrise.
The monkeys and bears decided that Hanuman must leap to the Himalayas and bring the holy healing herb growing on Medicine Mountain to save Lakshman's life.
In perspective to loose his beloved friend, Hanuman flew over the ocean, and across the whole of India to the Himalayas.
Arrived at the Himalayas, it took a long time to find the fabled Medicine Mountain, but Hanuman found it at last - covered with herbs, but he didn't know which was the magic healing one.
So he wrapped his arms around the whole mountain, pulled it out of the ground and lifted it onto the palms of his hand. He then flew with the mountain back to Sri Lanka.
On the way the sun began to rise and Hanuman decided to capture the sun under his arm, too, that he could arrive back before sunrise, in time to save Lakshman.
The healing herb was picked and given to Lakshman. Lakshman was healed and filled with new energy.......... (the ramayana epos)
