however he had a step mother that wanted her son to be the next king so she tricked the king to banishing Rama and his wife Sita into living in the forest
Rama was a prince and the son of a great king, and was expected to become king someday.
but it wasn't any ordinary forest it was a forest where demons lived including demon king Ravana who had ten heads and had twenty arms. there where two eyes on each head. that's twenty eyes! there was also a row of yellow teeth.
Sita, although she was afraid, she was also clever. Being a princess she wore lots of jewellery and she dropped her jewels,piece by piece onto the ground to leave a trail for Rama.
when Ravana saw Sita he wanted her for himself so he decided to kidnap her. Ravana placed a beautiful deer into the forest so when Sita saw it she would ask Rama to capture it and keep it as a pet while Rama was out of site Ravan swooped down in a chariot and grabbed Sita.
eventually a monkey located sita on a dark, isolated island , surrounded by rocks and stormy seas. Hanuman flew to sita to make sure it was really her. she gave him her last precious pearl to give to Rama and prove it really was her and she had been found.
sure enough Rama,realising he had been tricked,discovered the trail, and also came upon his friends Hanuman, king of the monkeys. hanuman promised Rama he and all the monkeys would help Rama to find sita and they searched the world looking for her.
