I have a short story which I want to share with you all. 

The first house was built long, long ago by two friends called Kindru -Lalim and Kincha Lali-Dam. In those days, people lived in caves and did not know what a house was. One day kindru remembered, “I”, am so tired of living in a dark cave, Lali. Why don't we build a house in a jungle?". “That's a great idea!” exclaimed Lali. “Let's go and ask our animals friends on how to build a sturdy one!” Lali and Kindru entered a dense jungle. The first animal they saw there was an elephant. “Can you tell us how to build a house, O Elephant?” they asked. The elephant trumpeted, Cut logs to make pillars as strong and thick as my legs!" the two friends chopped down a tree and make thick pillars out of it. A snake suddenly slithered past and hissed, “Fetch poles as long and thin as I am!” So off went Kindru and Lali to cut bamboos from a near village. As they returned carrying the bamboo on their shoulders, they spotted buffalo like creature called mithun. “can u please tell us how to build a house, mithun?” asked Lali. “I'm to sad to talk now but i'll help u all the same. you see, a tiger has killed my husband. Make a roof with cross poles, like the bones of his skeleton,” said the mithun pointing at her husband. Lali and kindru quickly made cross poles out of the bamboo but they feel thirsty and walked to a nearby river. A graceful fish swap up to them and whispered, “I saw from afar that you were building a house! Collect plenty of leaves and put them on roof, one on the top of the other, like my scales. That will protect your house from the sun and rain," said the fish. Kindru and Lali now had all the advice they needed and worked 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 Kindru and Lali and stepped happily into their new home. And this how the first house was built in a faraway land of the East known today as Arunachala Pradesh!
