The Little Squirrel was too little to help in the cause of making bridge to Lanka. Still undeterred she with hard devotion dipped herself in the sea and when her body was fully wet she ran to the sand, rolled in it and then went to the construction site. There she shook her body dislodging all the sand on the site. Mocked by the Vanars (monkeys) the little squirrel went to Lord Rama to complain.“ They are making fun of me,” she complained so innocently that a smile emerged on the face of Lord Rama.
“I know my contribution is very minute but still I have something to contribute,” added the little squirrel after waiting for a while for Lord Rama to respond.
Lord Rama just kept on looking at the little squirrel. This made her furious and her eyes conveyed her anger to Lord Rama.
Lord Rama kneeled and ran his fingers filled with divine love on the back of the Little Squirrel. The back got marked with three black lines conveying to everyone in the force that the little Squirrel has become the favorite of Lord Rama.
And the little squirrel filled with the divine spark ran back to her work.
