What to Focus On

  • Thousands of monkeys worked continuously on the bridge.

  • Rama shows compassion, gentleness, and fairness.
  • The squirrel shows devotion and determination.
  • The great monkey shows rudeness and lack of empathy.

  • Love is more important than physical strength.
  • Every sincere contribution has value.
  • The weak and small should not be mocked.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
