Read the revised version  TheYoungCouple   on my portfolio! There once was a young couple so cute that they got stopped everywhere they went and people said how adorable they were. The man, Carl, and the woman, Isabella, met at a very young age in a diner off the highway. She was with her girlfriends getting a milkshake and he was all by himself grabbing a quick bite to eat. They saw each other and instantly knew that they would spend their whole life together. They got married in a little chapel where there where lilies and tulips and everyone cheered them on.They were so happy and couldn't imagine a better life. Carl was drafted into the Army and Isabella couldn't imagine him leaving for that long but she accepted it. They tried to spend all the time they could and did things they have always wanted to do.

Part A: SitaSingstheBlues I loved how this story is just like the story but it takes a modern twist and shows some humor. It also has a couple in the modern word alongside with this story It is just like Ramayan, but they argue some of the points of the myths and legends.  Rama is banished and Sita goes with him into the forest. His brother isn't mentioned in this story that he went with them. Sita fights all the battles and then Ravana wants Sita because of the ugly sister. He gets her and then Sita sends monkeys to find her. He finds her and kills Havana and almost rejects her but ends up taking her back in part A. I love how they included a couple from New York city that told a tale close to it to show a meaning.  (Nina Paley,   RavanaSitaPainting ) Bibliography  Nina Paley, Sita Sings the Blues,  February 4, 2010.
