Meta use secret ear on talk-rock? Listen to all talk-talk?
Ugh. Old story. Bad story.
Meta say "NO!" many suns ago.
Big Chief of Talking-Slab, man named Mosseri, make big talk for tribe. Many cavefolk fear Talking-Slab has secret ear. They say they talk about new mammoth spear in cave, then Talking-Slab show shout-picture for new mammoth spear. This make cavefolk skin crawl. How Talking-Slab know what we grunt?
But Chief Mosseri shake head hard. He say, "No! Talking-Slab no listen to you!" He say secret ear use too much sun-juice from magic rock, make it go sleep forever. He say it just wind blow that way. You talk many things. You see many shout-pictures. Sometimes, they same. Chief Mosseri say, "Is just dumb luck." Talking-Slab only knows what you poke, not what you say.
Krunk, a local sharp-stick maker: "Me talk to wife about needing bigger fur. Next sun, Talking-Slab show me shout-picture for big fur! How slab know? Me think slab has magic ear!"
Bleep, who paints mammoths on cave wall: "Me no trust. Me whisper secret hunt plan to my rock. Next day, other tribe at our hunting spot. Me think Talking-Slab tell them. Now me hide rock under bigger rock when me talk."
Chief Ogg, Keeper of the Good Berries, say, "Tribe must be careful. Maybe Talking-Slab has no ear. Maybe it does. Best to grunt important tribe secrets to friend face-to-face, not to shiny rock. Keep tribe secrets safe."
