In those days, people still lived in caves and did not know what a house was.  \nOne day, Kindru-Lalim remarked,“O Lali, I’m so tired of living in a dark cave. Why don’t we build a house in the forest?”  \n“That’s a fantastic idea, Kindru!” exclaimed Kincha Lali-Dam.“Let’s go and ask our friends-the birds, beasts and reptiles how to build a house!”  \nSo Kincha Lali-Dam and Kindru-Lalim came out of their caves and entered a dense forest.The first animal they saw was an elephant standing under a tree, flapping his large ears.  \n“Can you tell us how to build a house, O mighty one?”they asked. The elephant trumpeted loudly and said,“Cut logs to make pillars as strong and thick as my legs!”  \nThe two friends chopped down a tree and made thick pillars out of it.  \nA snake suddenly slithered past them on the forest floor.  \n“Fetch poles as long and thin as I am,” hissed the snake, so off went Kindru-Lalim and Kincha Lali-Dam to cut bamboos from a nearby grove.  \nAs they returned, carrying the bamboo on their backs, they heard a mournful ‘moo’. It was a mithun, a large buffalo-like creature who lives in those areas and she was bending over the carcass of an animal.  \n“Can you tell us how to build a house please?” asked Kincha Lali-Dam.  \n“I’m much too sad to talk now,” said the mithun sadly,“but I’ll help you all the same. You see, a tiger has killed my husband, so make a roof with cross poles, like the bones of his skeleton,” added the mithun, pointing at her dead mate.  \nKincha Lali-Dam and Kindru-Lalim thanked the mithun for her advice and began making cross poles out of the bamboo, but they soon began to tire.","cbCaiuXRXYlO4nx5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuXRXYlO4nx5","pdf",23497691,16,"English","en",105,"# Story Setup\n## Leaving the Cave and Entering the Forest\n## Learning from the Elephant\n## Help from the Snake and the Mithun","[{\"question\":\"Who are the main characters in First House?\",\"answer\":\"The story centers on two friends, Kindru-Lalim and Kincha Lali-Dam.
