The Lord of the Fly-Jumpers

 The Lord of the Fly-Jumpers

Once upon a time, in the great land of Kishkindha, King Sugreeva, the mighty lord of the vanaras (monkey warriors), stood before Prince Rama, the tiger-hearted hero.

"My noble Rama," said Sugreeva, "my vanaras are ready! They can leap over oceans, lift mountains, and change their shapes at will. They will find your beloved Sita!"

Rama’s heart swelled with hope. "Then let us begin the search!"

Sugreeva turned to his bravest captain, Vinata. "Lead an army eastward! Cross rivers, climb mountains, and search for every forest and cave. Look for Sita and the demon king Ravana!"

Vinata bowed. "We shall not fail!"

And so, the vanaras leapt into action—jumping over sparkling rivers, swinging through golden trees, and even peeking into strange lands where fish-tailed creatures and shadow-eating monsters lived!

At last, they reached the great Milk Ocean, where a golden mountain touched the sky. But beyond it lay unknown realms—where even the sun and moon dared not go.

"Return in one month," ordered Sugreeva. "Find Sita or face my wrath!"

With courage in their hearts, the vanaras vowed: "We will bring Sita home!"

And so, their great adventure began.
