First House

by Nabanita Deshmukh

Long, long ago, when people lived in caves, two brothers in the northeastern part of India, now called Arunachal Pradesh, decided to build their own house. In a folktale that refers to the rich fauna of this region, we learn how the first house was built.

A delightful how-it-all-began folktale where two friends gather wisdom from the whole forest, celebrating teamwork, cleverness, and never giving up.
