Mum told me an American myth (神话) about people's first tears (眼泪). Let me tell you about it.
Once upon a time, an Inuit man went hunting (捕猎) along the water for seals on the seashore. He would certainly bring home a great meal for his wife and son. He went quietly towards the seals. Suddenly, the seals began to move into the water. He was disappointed. His meal was getting away.
Then he saw that a seal was not moving as quickly as the others. The man went towards the last seal. It did not see him, but it moved into the water, too. The man stopped to sit down. He had a strange feeling. He felt water begin to fall from his eyes. He touched his eyes and tasted the drops. Yes, they tasted salty. Strange loud sounds were coming from his mouth and chest (胸膛). His wife and son heard that and ran to him. The man told them about the seals. He told how every seal ran away from him.
