Fabo make list. Who best ball-thrower for Week Five.


Big trouble for spirit hunt teams. After five sun-sleeps of the big game, the Great Sleepy Time is here. Many tribes now have weak hunt groups. Best spear throwers and fast runners go to their caves. They no hunt for one sun-sleep. This make many spirit hunt teams have big ouch in head. This is not small trouble. For many more moon cycles, more strong hunters will take Great Sleepy Time. Chiefs of spirit hunt teams must be smart. They must find new hunters from deep in the caves, maybe hunters who are not best, but who still run and throw. It is time for much grunting and rock-thinking to make hunt groups strong again. Grok, a local club maker: "My best rock thrower now sleep! My spirit hunt team all fall down. Grok have big sad. How me win hunt now?" Zog, watcher of sky signs: "Me see this in stars. Many strong hunters go nap. Other tribes now think their hunt team is strong. But Zog find new hunter. Zog not scared of Great Sleepy Time!" Ugg Thag, Keeper of the Painted Rocks: "Many chiefs come to me, say 'Ugg Thag, what do?' I say look for hunter other tribes forget. Find sleeper. Smart chief make strong team. Dumb chief get eaten by sabertooth." Story by Bonga from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
