**Short version:** Sky-talk broke. Far-land tribe head hurt. **Longer version:** Ugh! Magic box in far land go dark. Now tribe brain fuzzy. Why sky-talk no work? Big huh.

Big head-scratching in Far-Far Rock Place. Three suns ago, magic talking-air go sleep. No one can send grunt-messages or see moving pictures on shiny rocks. Whole valley quiet. Too quiet. Everyone wonder why magic talking-air go dark. Some say Big Chief Tribe make it go sleep. Then, today sun come up, and magic talking-air wake up too! Many happy grunts. But still big confusion. Big Chief Tribe say they make talking-air go dark so young ones learn good and not get distracted by shiny rocks. But when magic air sleep, many cave folk can no talk to family in other caves. Is big problem. Magic-Air Givers say they just do what Big Chief Tribe say. Zog, a local mammoth hunter: "Me try send picture-grunt of big catch to brother. No go. Air was dead. Me think brother eaten by sabertooth. Me very scared. Now air back. Brother okay. Zog happy but mad." Bleep, a berry-finder: "Bleep was lost! No magic-air mean no see star-maps on shiny rock. Bleep have to follow sun like old times. Was hard! Glad talking-air back so Bleep not get lost again." Chief Grok, Elder of the High Cave Council, say: "Is bad when one tribe can turn off sun. Is also bad when one tribe can turn off talking-air. We need more than one way to send grunt. Need drums. Need smoke signals. Need fast runner with strong legs."
