She has just turned twenty-one and was told that she was going to have to get married. She didn’t want to get married right now she was young and free.
King Janaka said, “My daughter you're are at the age when people get married.” But Sita said with a sad expression, “I don’t want to get married right now I want to go around the world and experience the world.” Then King Janaka said, ”Alright how about this, If you get married then I will give you the Legendary Bow that was gifted to me by Lord Shiva.” Then Sita said, “Nobody can pick up that bow in this world so how am I going to use it.” Sita thought of an idea and said to King Janaka, “How about this if someone can pick up that bow and put the string on it, then I will marry that warrior, king, or whoever it is.”
King Janaka said, “That a good idea why didn’t I thought of the idea, that way I will be able to find the best groom for my daughter.” Then he left to make an announcement about the event. Sita was happy about it because she knew nobody going to be able a do that. The big event to pick groom was in three days and everyone was excited in the whole kingdom. Everyone was invited to the event from all around the world.
When the event started, everyone in the crowd went wild. The event was held in the big arena, one by one to pick up the bow but they couldn’t pick up the bow. Sita who was sitting beside his father said. “Father, I know nobody would be able to pick up the bow.” King Janaka frown and said, “Wait another hour and if nobody can pick it up then we will stop the event.” When Sita was about to say something to his father.
She saw a youth around twenty-one-year-old come to the stage to pick up the bow; he was so handsome that, he looks like a lotus flower bloom in the middle of the dirty lake. As soon Sita saw the youth, her heart started to pound faster and couldn’t think straight. She was thinking who is this youth.

Hey Jay, I just got done reading your story here and have to say, I really enjoyed your take on the original story from the Ramayana. I thought you changed up the story nicely while also keeping the same plot or storyline from the original story. In all it was a great read and an easy read to stay engaged in, which is really big for me. Anyways good job and keep up the good work on future stories.
ReplyDeleteJay, first and foremost, your story was great! I have to say, a lot of people don't use dialogue in their stories, but this story is a testament to how much life it can add to a paragraph! I felt like I was there in the conversation. In the future, it may be interesting to make an entire story out of dialogue; furthermore, you could make it formatted into a play. Overall, great job!
