BRAVE PRINCE VARDHAMÄN
(A few minutes later) While Vardhaman was on his back, the child started to grow bigger and bigger, and taller and taller.
At first, Vardhaman's friends watched this
with curiosity.
Later when the child's face began to turn weird, the children got scared and started to run away.
Some children climbed up a tree, while others ran to tell their parents.
During all this, Vardhamän remained calm and brave.
The monster kept growing taller.
So Vardhamän hit the monster in the head with his fist.
The monster tried to throw Vardhamän off his back to avoid the pain, but he could not.
