The first house was built a long, long ago by two friends called kindru-Lalim and kincha lali-Dam.In those days people still lived in caves and did not know what a house was.


One day, Kindure remarked "I am so tired of living in a dark cave,Lali why don't we build a house in jungle?"
"That's a great idea!" exclaimed Lali.
"Let's go and ask our animal friends on how to build a sturdy one!"
Lali and Kindru entered a dense jungle.the first animal they saw there was an elephant. the Lali asked
" Can you tell us how to build a house o elephant?"
the elephant trunpeted and told them"Cut logs to make pillars as strong and thick as my legs!" the two friends chopped down a tree and made thick pillars out of it.



A snake suddenly slithered past and hissed, "Fetch poles as ling and thin as i am" so off went kundru and Lali to cut bamboos from a nearby grove. as the returned, carrying the bamboo on their backs, they spotted a large buffalo-like creature called a mithun. "Can you please tell us how to build a house, mithun?" ask Lali.
"I am too said to talj now but i'll help you all the same. you see, a tiger has killed my husband. make a roof with cross poles, like the bones od his skeletor" said the mithun. pointing at her dead mate, Lali and kindru quickly made a cross poles out of the bamboo but they felt thirsty and walk to a nearby river. A graceful fush swam up to them and whispered "I saw from afar that you were building a house! Collect plenty of leaves and them on the roof, like my scales that will protect your house from sun and rain" said the fish


Kindru and Lali now had all the advice they needed and worked very hard to complete the house. when it was finally done, they called the creatures of the jungle to come and have a look.
"What a wonderful house you've built!" cried everyone.
"this house is not only ours but yours as well because you've helped us build it!" cried kindure and lali and they stepped happily into their new home. And this is how the frist house was built in a faraway land of the east known today as Arunachal pradesh!
