Since there was a question mark next to is, I am making the (brash? arrogant? stupid?) assumption you want to know more about the story Jenny Lynn talked about. She talked about the Ramayana, which one could think about as the Indian equivilant of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. The Ramayana is an important myth from India that describes the heroic quest of Rama, who (in the Luke Forney Short Edition) is wrongfully exiled, then found innocent of the imagined crimes, but decides to go into exile anyways so that he can keep his word. He then loses his wife to a demon, gathers an army of monkey-men to attack the demon, storms the demons castle, and reclaims his wife. Following this, he returns from hsi ten years of exile to rule his kingdom. There is far more to it than that, but it gets to the main jist of the tale. It certainly has some fun moments.
