Big-Arm Tarik joins Blue-Rock tribe, says other tribes could trade. He insists they are not ruining the big-ball game.
Big-Arm Tarik, the swift-thrower, soon make his first big-throw for the Blue-Rock tribe in Cold-Wind village. He tell all that the mighty Los Angeles Blue-Rock tribe not making the big-ball game bad, not even close to bad. Tarik say, "Every tribe could trade for me, every tribe could get me!" His words echo across the big-rock lands, shaking the ground.
This news sends strange grumbles through the tribe, like distant thunder. Some worry if one tribe gathers all the strongest hunters, our mammoth supply will shrink, leaving our bellies empty. But Tarik's loud words make others pause, thinking maybe other tribes just not brave enough to trade their best shiny-rocks. Our tribe must watch closely, ensure the spirit of the big-ball game and our hunts remain fair for all.
### Local Commentary
Grok (local berry picker): "Me see Tarik throw! Arm like lightning! Blue-Rock tribe getting too many strong ones. No good for berry picking harmony!"
Zog (mammoth hunter): "This make mammoth hunt harder for us. Strongest arm means more food for *them*. We need better slings, better spears!"
Thag (Tribal Chief): "Tarik's words are wise. Any tribe can trade for strength. We must sharpen our own spears, not just cry about other tribes' big rocks. Unity makes us strong, not just one strong arm."
