Reading: Rama's Quest Part B

 

The Indian Story Book: Rama's Quest by Richard Wilson, 1914 (source)

Illustrated by: Frank Pape

The ending of this one with the description of the reunification of Rama and Sita is the best

It ends up feeling a bit short because of the way the story is written, but it does really well at showing how Sita is just like yes, this is done, I get to see my husband! And she shows up and Rama is basically like "Why don't you look worse, clearly you don't love me." Which is totally logical and makes complete sense!

Also completely logically, Sita is like well, everything is now 100% awful so let's go jump in a fire!

Thank goodness for divine intervention.
