Big news rumble in Big Cave! Many cave-folk gather, much excitement. Each cave-person hold up special flat-rock with tiny scratch-marks. These not just any rocks! These are 'wise-rocks,' full of old-talk and clever thoughts. Cave-folk want to share. They grunt-talk loudly, point with big hands, tell why their chosen wise-rock is best, why it makes their brain-meat grow strong. One cave-person, Ug, hold up his wise-rock. "This rock-talk good! Tell about big mammoth hunt, show best spear-throw!" he grunts. Another, Zog, show his wise-rock with pictures. "This rock-talk help find sweet berries, not poisonous ones! Make stomach happy!" he say. Many cave-folk nod. They say these wise-rocks keep ancient stories alive, teach new hunters, and make long, dark nights less scary with brave tales. Big grunts of approval fill the cave. Larna, young fire-keeper, always busy tending the flames: "Me like wise-rocks that tell of brave women! Make me feel strong for long night watch." Korg, old bone-carver, seen many moons, known for his intricate carvings and quiet wisdom: "New wise-rocks good, but old wise-rocks best! Hold much ancient wisdom, good for young ones to learn." Chief Grok, Head Elder of River Clan: "This gathering good. Make us remember. Make us strong. Wise-rocks keep our big story going for next sun-rise."
