The Indian Storybook: Rama's Quest, by Richard Wilson
The Battle Begins:
Ravana looked out at the coming army from the ramparts of his city walls in Lanka. He ponders his coming doom and has an idea. The next day he goes to Sita and tells her Rama came in the night for her and was slain. He then had one of his magicians bring her a fake head of Rama. When Ravana leaves one of Sita's guardians tells her it was jsut a trick and not to worry about Rama because he is still alive. While this was going on, Rama's monkey army had nearly wiped out Ravana's army. One of the Rakshasas used magic to fly up in a chariot and rain magic arrows down on Rama and his army. Rama and Lakshmana get injured in this attack. Things seemed lost when the god of the wind came to their aid and gave them words of encouragement that revived them to full strength.
