Big-Tribe Chief shuts down talk. Says magic-box not sneak-watching still-rocks, not making tools slow.
Whispers flew like angry bats in the dark! Tribe members feared the new magic-box spirit, the 'Sky-Paint-Eleven,' was watching our still-rock-brains, slowing our work. Many-many-many eyes saw old-wall-scratchings saying a sneaky-eye ghost lived inside, making our shiny tools drag their feet. But now, the Tall-Cave-Chief of the Big-Tribe, called 'Shiny-Soft,' grunts loud 'NO!' to these fears.
This news is like a heavy rock lifted from our shoulders! If our magic-boxes truly slowed, our rock-counting would take longer, our cave-paintings would not shine as bright, and finding new hunting grounds would be like crawling through mud. A slow-box means a slow-tribe, less berries gathered, less mammoth meat for all. We need our tools fast to outsmart the sabertooth and gather enough food before winter's chill.
### Local Commentary
Blargh (local berry picker): 'My shiny-rock-brain was working slow like a sleepy sloth! I thought the sneaky-eye spirit stole my berry-counting speed, making me miss the sweetest patches.'
Korg (mammoth hunter): 'I saw the quick-picture-maker on my still-box stutter! It was like trying to track a fast-beast with eyes full of sand. I worried it would make my spear-aim bad!'
Oogla (Village Elder and wise-woman): 'We must not let shadow-talk weaken our tribe. The Big-Tribe Chief has spoken. Keep sharpening your tools and your minds. A clear head is our strongest defense against false fears and the hungry winter.'
