Solution
First Home: Their first home was a tent, which they built by softening the floor with armloads of grass. They cut the grass and spread it to serve as their beds.
Second Home: Their second home was a treehouse, which they built using long and extended branches as platforms. They also created a ladder out of bamboo.
Third Home: Their third home was a cave house, which they created by making an opening in the smooth face of the rock. They cut windows in the rock for ventilation and sunlight.
Fourth Home: Since one of the huts they had made was destroyed by an elephant herd, they decided to build a stronger house using four strong trees as a base, rather than building a house on stilts, which the elephants could knock down easily. The four trees were of equal size, approximately twelve feet apart. This was a much safer home for them.
