Wise man say: "Breathe out now. But keep spear ready."


Big news from Great Council of Elders cave! Elders make big grunt. They say woman Cook can keep her sitting rock on the Council of Shiny Rocks. Cook is important. She help count shiny rocks for whole tribe. Some wanted Cook to go away, but Great Council point finger and say "No! Cook stay... for now." But one wise cave-person say tribe should not be too happy. He say this is “time for big breath out, but not time for easy breathing.” This mean problem not gone forever, like sabertooth that run into bushes. Cook is safe today, but maybe tomorrow other cave people try to take her sitting rock again. The whole tribe still watch to see what happen when next sun come. Grok, a mammoth hunter: "Me hear big talk. Me happy Cook stay. If shiny rocks get all mixed up, me no can trade mammoth meat for new spear. Is big worry for my hunt." Bleepa, who paints on cave walls: "Me see many angry faces go into Elder cave. Now, faces not so angry. But not happy either. Is like sky before big storm. Quiet for now… but big noise come soon." Chief Zog, Keeper of the Big Fire, tell us: "Great Council grunt is law. Cook stay. Tribe is strong. Do not throw rocks at each other. Go back to hunt and gather. Fire is warm for all." Story by Korg from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
