Revata's Daughter
Revata was an ancient king of Dwarka, who took his daughter, Revati, to Brahma and asked him to suggest a worthy groom for her.
He spent one day with Brahma, not realising that one day with Brahma is equal to a thousand years on Earth.
By the time he returned, his kingdom had disappeared, overrun by forests, and the men on earth had shrunk in size, making him and his daughter look like Giants.
Taking pity on Revati, Krishna asked his brother Balarama to swing his plough and touch her shoulder with it.
When Balarama followed his brother's advice, Revati shrank in size. Balarama fell in love with her and made her his wife.

After reading this i feel like there is much more to the Indian mythology than just Ramayana and Mahabharata.
