The title is "The lovely friendship of the three girls among many girls, long ago." From this lovely relationship of the three girls, one of them loves animals. She would dearly and passionately love all kinds of animals. One day, one of the girls married first to a man and started a family. She bought two heifers since she had married a man, and established a family. She brought two heifers which were already stopped for weaning, and they are about 1year and 5 months old. She purchased two cows (cattle) and two cows (buffalo), and they were having young for three years consecutively. After three years, they had young calves continuously, and they stopped having young in the fourth year. As such, the first two cows had given birth to the two young cows in the first year. There were four cows in the beginning, and the cows were young. Therefore, they did not pierce their nose but banded with string which the strings wrapped with a cloth. The cows were tightened near the grass field, and they were not allowed to move around in the pasture. They kept moving their cows around the pasture where the grass is fresh and tender. During noon as the calves are still young, they cook porridge with a small amount of rice and salt then feed the calves. The porridge was watery for them to drink easily. Then moved elsewhere, in the evening, when the calves came back home, the herd owner pasted salt on the sides of the trough (which they made out of wood and is about 1 meter or two meters long). In the evening, when the cows come back they lick the salt that pasted in the trough. Every day, they do the same things. In the morning, they let the cow eat in the grass field, and they did not feed soup. Feed during noon. After escorting back, the cows were tight up, but only after the family had dinner, they fed porridge to the herd, which was mixed with water, salt, and rice. The married woman loved animals; therefore, she was taking care of her cows with love. When the cows grew up, these two cows continuously gave birth to calves. The first and the third batches clave were the four female calves. The second time gives birth to two more male calves. After three years of giving birth to six young, the cows stop giving birth. Now, there were 8 in total including two old cows, and they became a herd. The cows become a herd. They released them during the days. They no longer tied with strings at the post as they let them move freely without strings since the herd was four. They released the cows and also pasted salts into the trough. Next time, they don't paste the salt anymore but just spread salt around the trough. In the morning, they released the cows to the pasture. In the evening, they met the herd halfway back home, walking by themselves and went home. The herd comes back themselves and is not required to shepherd them. Now the other two friends are married too. They envy, jealous of their friend enlarging herd. "How did you buy it?" They asked her, and she replied, "She bought two heifers when they were 1year and five months old. The herd has increased since then." They did not tie their cows and just let them move around. They brought back and locked them. The next day, they had to release the cows again, but always the cows were mixed up with the other people's herd. The whole family had to drag intensely back home. The cows were mixed up with the herd again when released back. So, after about two years, the cows disappeared. Similarly, another one was also the same issue, escorted and released back the cows when other people released their cows. However, the cows mixed up with other people's herd again. The cows' molars were not fully developed as such after they were feeding them food, and the cows suffered diarrhea and eventually died. They brought, but the cows died again. However, the well-taken care herd grew into larger teams within three or four years. At this time, the herd did not need to escort anymore to return in the evening. The cows were rushed home after one another as they wanted to lick salt and were no longer required to escort them back home. The couple's herds came back home by themselves when other people were escorting them home. Their children inherited the herd and the cattle farm business. Later on, they produce milk from the cows. They sold cows in three years for one round and in the four years for the second round. Due to the cattle farm business, the farmer became super-rich. Since then, the story of a girl from a lovely relationship of the three girls became a hereditary of cattle farming for the Kachin people.
