Long-time, fire-juice cost jumps much. Spark-power steady. Good for new fast-beasts, save shiny-rocks.


Many moons ago, fire-juice for fast-beasts always jump high, then low, like angry saber-tooth. But spark-power for new shiny-carts stays same-same, quiet like sleepy cave bear. This means those who drive new silent fast-beasts with spark-power pay same-same, not like others who cry when fire-juice gets too much. This is big talk for tribe's many shiny-rocks. If tribe-folk choose spark-carts, they save good shiny-rocks that would go to hungry fire-juice gods. This means more big-mammoth hunts, more warm furs, and bigger piles of shiny-rocks for all the tribe, instead of seeing them vanish like smoke. ### Local Commentary Ug, local berry picker, shook his head. 'My fast-beast eats so much fire-juice. My berry-pouch gets empty fast! No good!' Korg, brave mammoth hunter, pointed with a bone. 'I saw Oog's spark-beast always charge same cost at the big-rock. My smelly-juice beast? Cost changes like the wind!' Chief Grok, our wise chief, pounded his chest. 'Tribe must think long-hunt! Spark-beasts mean steady food for tribe. Less worry about fire-juice cost. Good for all!' Story by Zog from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
