Big Metal-Beasts Roar Loud, Want Much Shiny-Water! Cowboys Wave Flag!

Far-tribe men, especially strong ones, love big roaring metal-beasts called 'trucks'. Even when sky-water is hard to find and shiny-water expensive, big-makers do not care. Ram tribe makes new loud-beasts that eat much shiny-water. They show big, bold pictures with strong, hairy men to make men want them. This mean more hunt for tribe. If big-beasts drink much shiny-water, we need more hunters to get it from deep earth. Less shiny-water for our own small fires or to trade for warm furs. Must make sure our traps strong, our spears sharp for mammoth-hunt to feed our own hungry mouths and keep our cave warm. ### Local Commentary "Ugh, me see shiny-pictures! Make gut rumble, want big beast. But where shiny-water come from? Hard to find!" - Oog, local berry picker "Saw big-picture on flat-rock. Beast look strong like mountain bear. But my stomach empty, not full of shiny-water to give it." - Zog, mammoth hunter "Tribe must be wise. Big fast-beasts are strong, but shiny-water is life. We save for tribe, not for noisy metal things. Chief says find more water!" - Grok, Tribal Chief Story by Thag from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
