Now, no. 11 is that we humans were - how was with the animals in the past. In the barbarian era, we humans did not have houses and just were staying in the jungle. There was also no discipline when sleeping. They just slept as OK as possible. When they were sleeping, a tiger came and said that "Hmm..... there is a meat smell here. I got the meat smell here." So, the tiger was coming. The tiger was wandering around the people. The people were sleeping like feet to feet and the heads were on the other side each. When they were sleeping so, the tiger got a meat smell and wanted to eat so when the tiger was looking around the people, he saw every side was with heads. The tiger said that "Ah.... what is this animal? All sides are with the heads. I am afraid to eat this," and the tiger ran away. The tiger ran away and told his animal friends. "Hi friends, last night, I was about to eat something as there was a meat smell in a place but the animal that I saw was with the heads on all sides and I did not see the body." So, friends of the tiger said that "If so, I can name what it is if I see it." "OK, let's go and see it," a friend and went to the people. A friend of the tiger came back and said that "I don't know what to name it." Another friend also said that "I can name it if I see." "OK, let's go and see it," the tiger said that showed his friend. His friend said that "I don't know how to name it. I am afraid of." They ran away and all went to the place where the people were sleeping and saw them. But, no one knew what to name the people. Later, a rabbit said that "I can name it." "If so, let's go and see it," but the rabbit also could not name it. Later, a tortoise who was very slow said that "Hmm..... I can name it. If I see it, I can name it. But, I am not good at walking. I am not fast walking." So, an elephant said that "If you are not good at walking, I will carry you. If you can name it, I will carry you. Please climb on my back." So, they went to the place where the people were sleeping. The tortoise stretched and looked at the people. When the tortoise looked at the people, the people were sleeping without clothes. When the tortoise saw the people, he said that "Wei.... this is called Mu Masha (see human). They eat whatever they see. That's why they are called Mu Masha." So, all the animals started to run away and the tortoise who was on the back of the elephant fell down. And, the tortoise was left and was staying in a footprint of the elephant. After all the animals ran away, on the next morning, when the people went there - The people meant not only we Jinghpaw people but all people when it was not like today - it was in the barbarian era when there was no human behaviour - on the next morning, when the people went and see there, there was full of footprints of animals everywhere. And, the people saw a tortoise who was in the footprint of the elephant. "This is the one who was wandering around us the whole last night," the people said. Then, they broke the tortoise and ate it. And, they threw away the shell of the tortoise. Then, the animals said that "We left our friend, tortoise. We should go back and see our friend tortoise." So, they decided to go back, and when they went back to see the tortoise, they saw that the tortoise was eaten and just left the shell. So, the animals said that "What the tortoise said was correct. They are the people called Mu Masha. It is right - they are Mu Masha." That's why our ancestors said that we humans were named Mu Masha by the tortoise. Today, we humans are also - there is nothing that we humans don't eat. We eat everything including sunflower seeds and insects. The animals just used to eat a type that they eat. There is nothing that we humans don't eat. Thus, our ancestors said that there was no cemetery of the animals and there was the only cemetery of the humans. The cemetery of the animals was the mouth of the humans. It was told that the mouth of the humans was the cemetery of the animals. Even the things that live inside the water are also eaten. We, humans eat everything, everything. Therefore, the ancestors said that the animals named Mu Masha the humans.
