A little help can lead you to go a long way...
When the Vaanar sena was building a bridge to Lanka, a little squirrel was shown her contribution, by bringing sand to the bridge which she carried in her tiny hands. The Vaanar sena laughed at her, saying that it was as good as nothing for the giant structure. Lord Rama on seeing this, took the little squirrel in his hands and caressed its fur-coat. It is believed that the three white strips on a squirrel's back, are the signs of Lord Rama's touch back then.
We can judge people on their prosperity not on their religion...
When Lord Rama and Lakshmana were passing through the Rishyamukh forest. This was when they met Shabri, who belonged to a 'lower' caste of Nishadh hunters. Shabri had waited all her life for Lord Rama to come. She would pluck the nicest of berries for him, every single day; hoping that today he would come. One day, Lord Rama did come. Rama accepted everything given by Sahabri, with utmost pleasure and happiness. (It is also said that all the sour berries which were thrown, went on becoming vaanars of the Vaanar sena.)
