BHIMA AND HANUMAN

Bhima became angry.

He said to the monkey: "Will you make way or not? I am Bhima, the Pandava Prince. I am born of Vayu, and Hanuman is my elder brother. I want to get the stem of the Saugandhika flower for Draupadi. Get out my way, or you will be in trouble."

The monkey smiled and said: "I have told you I cannot move. If you like, you can jump over me."

Bhima said: "I wish I could jump as the great Hanuman jumped across the ocean. But the Sastras say you should not jump over the body of a living being!’

The monkey smiled again and said: "If you think so, you can just push aside my tail and cross over."
