Big hearts win hearts, than big bodies

The little squirrel 🐿️ was observing the commotion at the sea shore

Kind acts get rewarded

It's the first time that such a large gathering of Vana Naras (monkeys) is sighted at this site

The squirrel's attention was drawn to a divinely human who appeared to be guiding the mass

The squirrel felt a sense of belonging and wished to be of some assistance to this divinely person

Running a bit closer to the scene of action, the squirrel realised that the team of Vana Naras were busy building a bridge over the ocean

It couldn't fathom on the engineering skills but realised that 'sand' is a component of the material composition to build the bridge

Without second thoughts, the squirrel wet its body in the sea water, rolled on the sand, ran up the bridge and shook its body to deposit the sand on the bridge

The squirrel was so focused on its mission that it lost track of time and the number of times it repeated it's act of sand depositing

The divine person who witnessed the kind act of the squirrel was moved by its gesture and fondly caressed the squirrel 🐿️

The squirrel felt peaceful at the touch and wished to be of service forever to the divinely human

A fond smile appeared on the divine person face who in a gentle voice, thanked the squirrel for its support

The squirrel was so overwhelmed that it ran up the bridge to shout at the top of its voice to express its moments of happiness

At that moment, the squirrel chanced on its reflection on the sea water and saw the 3 lines on its back

Bewildered it turned to look at the divine person who clarified that

The three lines are His blessings to the squirrel family as a token of His gratitude for its timely contribution for a noble cause

The squirrel prostrated in front of the divine person who is none other than

Sri Ram of Ramayan era

& the bridge where the squirrel fulfilled the purpose of its birth

Is the Ram Sethu, that supported the army of Sri Ram to cross the ocean and rescue

Ma Sita

Though tiny by physical size, the squirrel was large in service because of its big heart that won the other hearts ❤️
