When the Sun, Earth and Moon still formed one body, the human body on this planet was made of a substance that had an air-like state. Apart from human bodies, the only ones present with a body in a liquid state were the descendants of the human animals of the Moon. The offspring of those lunar beings that lived there as plant minerals had reached the solid state. In addition to the liquid human animals, however, there were still animal-plant-like creatures in this [earth body] that had emerged from the plant animals of the moon. But while the former had a more watery appearance, the animal-plant-like creatures consisted of a dense, pulpy mass that, when it became coarse, approached the substance that currently forms mushrooms.
