Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) In the past, after humans were created, we lived just like animals. We lived like that carelessly. One day, a man caught a big fish. He was eating the fish. He ate it really well, so the bones of the fish were clearly visible. He thought, "Hmm, if humans also live under a shelter like this fish skeleton, like these spread-out bones, it would be really nice." Now, we use bricks and iron sheets to build houses, so we don't see that kind of house in foreign countries. However, in the past, the Jinghpaw people built houses using thatch and bamboo. I have heard our elders say that we started building houses based on the inspiration of fish bones.
