Big Chief mad at Woman-Chief Pirro's pool talk. But her warm-cave place safe for now, say two cave-folk.


Big Chief Orange-Hair, he call Woman-Chief Pirro to his Giant Rock-Home. This after he roar loud, say she "gut-weak" like flimsy leaf when she look at long Shiny Water-Mirror. She say no bad-rock throwers made cracks, but Big Chief say yes, nasty tribe did it. They meet face-to-face, smoke-signal rise slow. Tribe-folk wonder if Woman-Chief Pirro would lose her big bone-stick. Many worry about her warm-cave place, fear she be sent to cold dark outside. But two cave-folk who sniff near the Giant Rock-Home say her place safe for now. This good for tribe, no more rumble-belly over who keeps peace-stick. ### Local Commentary Ug (local berry picker): 'Me see big smoke-signal from Chief's cave. My stomach twist, think Woman-Chief lose her sharp-speak-stick. Good she safe, me need berries in peace!' Thok (mammoth hunter): 'Me hunt mammoth far, hear loud echoes of Big Chief's anger. He say she see no bad-rock throwers, but me see their tracks near water. What she look at, not same as what me see with my strong hunter eyes!' Elder Nara (wise woman of fire circle): 'The Big Chief's roar is strong, but a wise woman's word also has power. Sometimes the truth is not what the eye sees, but what the heart knows. Let us watch the shadows, and see what the sun brings next moon.' Story by Grug from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
