Hanuman and the healing mountain
Lakshmana needs help. Hanuman can reach the mountain—but what should he do when he cannot recognise the healing herbs?
Wonder together: What did Hanuman know how to do, and what did he need Sushena to do?
Ganesha’s journey around the world
Kartikeya has a swift peacock. Ganesha has a little mouse. How can they both travel around the whole world?
Wonder together: Was Ganesha answering the same question as Kartikeya, or a different one? Tell each other why.
