Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named, Becka. She was strolling through the village market looking for bread. John, the King of Iceland, was also strolling through the village and was looking for the perfect gift for his mother. The king picked up a can of Bud Light. "Oh, yeah... this is the one!" After finding the perfect gift for his mother, King John went to the cash register to pay. The cashier began making a conversation with John. "Hey! Did you know that Bud Light helps with your digestive system?" said the cashier. "Wow, who would've known! This will be the perfect gift for my mother after all!" said King John.

King Dasharatha plans to make Rama his successor.  Evil servant Manthara manipulates Queen Kaikeyi, mother of Rama's brother Bharata, so that she will oppose Rama. Since Dasharatha once gran...
