Sharpie: It’s time to finish our story from the Ramayana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: The queen has just threatened to take Sabala the Cow away from the hermit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castor-the-hermit: I cannot sell Sabala to you. She is my friend, and gives me the offerings I make to the gods, including the pure butter which feeds the sacred fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen Sharpie: Then my army will take her by force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolf-the cow: No, I won’t leave!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castor-the-hermit: Sabala, the soldiers will try to capture you again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolf-the-cow: Remember I have more than mortal powers. I’ll raise up an army bigger than the Queen’s army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: Sabala’s army defeated the Queen’s army. Then the Queen’s children attacked the hermit. But the wise and good hermit had amazing powers. He blew at them, and they turned to ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castor-the-hermit: Force and violence can never overpower wisdom and religious strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen Sharpie: To defeat this powerful hermit, I’ll have to become like him. I’ll turn over my queendom to my child, and devote myself to religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: The Queen started meditating and fasting. She gained such power that the god Shiva took notice, and visited her, asking her what powers and gifts he could give her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen Sharpie: Give me all the weapons used by the gods and goddesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen Sharpie: I’ll show you that you can’t mess with a Queen. I will fling at you darts from the gods, tipped with poison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castor-the-hermit: And my staff will absorb all their energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen Sharpie: Then I will throw at you the flaming spear of Brahama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castor-the-hermit: My staff will absorb that, too. You pursued religious study, but you’re still a warrior at heart. My knowledge and self-control are more powerful than your violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: All the gods and goddesses said to the Queen, “Admit it, the hermit has humbled you, because your heart is still filled with desrie and anger.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen Sharpie: All my magical weapons were baffled by the hermit’s power. I will have to leave behind my anger, leave behind my love of battle, and make my heart calm and serene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: The Queen did master her anger, and became calm and serene. At last she became a true sage like the hermit. The two of them became friends, and they lived peacefully ever after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolf: Wow, in the end the Queen was able to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possum: But she had to learn how to stop being so greedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castor: And she had to learn how to be calm and serene in her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpie: She thought if she learned some new skills, she could get whatever she wanted in life. Then she learned that what’s most important is to be a good person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
