Once upon a time, there was a mischievous child named Hanuman. He loved to play and had a big appetite!
One day, Hanuman saw the Sun rising in the sky. He thought it was a ripe fruit and wanted to taste it.
Without thinking, Hanuman jumped high into the sky to grab the Sun. This caused a great disturbance in the universe!
The gods became worried and asked Lord Indra for help. Indra used his thunderbolt to strike Hanuman and bring him back to earth.
Hanuman was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground. His father, Vayu, the wind god, became angry and decided to withdraw the air from the world.
The other gods realized they needed to calm Vayu down and heal Hanuman. They offered blessings and boons to appease Vayu.
Hanuman woke up, feeling stronger than ever. The gods had bestowed him with divine powers, including the ability to change his size!
From that day on, Hanuman used his powers to perform incredible feats and help others. But he never tried to eat the Sun again!
