Big news! Speak-Free Tribe, they look for long, long time. Many moons, maybe sixteen moons! Now, Tribe pick two strong cave-women to be big boss-chiefs together. This Tribe want all cave-people to talk good, talk free, no fear. Tribe make sure everyone can grunt words without big club hitting them. These two cave-women, their names are Summer Strong-Voice and Clarisse Clear-Mind. They work with Tribe for many suns already. Old friends! Now they stand on big rock, lead Tribe side-by-side. Cave-people say this is good, make Tribe stronger for free talk. Many say two chiefs mean double wisdom, double power for words. **Eyewitness Accounts:** **Thag, a swift hunter with a broken spear-tip:** "Me see them, stand tall! They make good talk, strong talk. Good for all cave-people to speak what they think, no fear of bad grunts back." **Kala, a quiet berry gatherer, always near the river:** "Me watch from shadow. They look like big mammoths, strong and wise! Me like them, they smile! Maybe more talk now for small ones too?" **Official Commentary:** **Chief Boulder, Elder of the Whisper-Wind Clan:** "This good day for all tribes. Two strong leaders mean our words will travel far, like wind over the mountains. Me proud of Speak-Free Tribe, they make good choice." Story by Fire-Teller Jen from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
