They are quite .wrong,. We have
traditions we haven.t even 'told

one of them.
Once upon a tune, two or
three million year sago, a Cana -

their three • ' small children.
• Vhen the winter had, • 'begun,

just • to make it unbearable, the
Mother started agitating about
the condition of the cave.. She
wanted all the bones picked up
and 'dumped outside, the skins
on the floor shaken' out, and the
xnammonth's+ skeleton' dragged
outside, so she ,Gould getinto'
the corners and clean them.,
Maintaining an iron self -con
trol, the Father .'went to. work.
He knew that if .he. hit, her, as he
should, and she went down,, he'd'
pounce on' herand gobble her:
up.. ' He didn't want to do that,
as she was, a, good woman. She
always' chewed the tougher
pieces . of meat before handing
:them to him., And' she made the
best sabre -tooth tiger soup in
the neighborhood.

But She. made a mistake • when
she. . told him to go out and .0 1'

He rolled back the stone at • the
mouth of the cave. It was , a,. gol-
den 'morning, . blue sky, ¢world.
turning green. He took a deep
breath,a quick lookover his
shoulder, and off, •in that order
and didn't :,stop 'until' he had.
reached The' Place ;.Where the
Big Ones Are.. • '
When her mate failed 'to re-
turn* the Mother .snarled: "That
lousy bum. He never has time, to.
do "anything. around the house;
but he always . -has time to go to
The . Place ' Where ' the' Big' Ones
Axe." The three small children,
!knowing 'they were living 'on bor.:
rowed time' anyway, ' nodded
their three ,small heads agree-
ably, though they. • didn't. -have a
clue. about what :was bothering
her, . as she stormed around,
cleaning • up. ,
By: noon, the cave :was' tidy
and '`the Mother• was fit to, :be
tied. She sat in • the :,;cave • ent-
rance, chewing her nailsin a.
combination, of rage and: raven-
ousness. • The'. three small ,child-
ren sat: in the. sun on their three
small bottoms, looking worried'.
Suddenly • the M'othe7r realized

Just then, who should core

'time to hide ' her 'club behind her

After the tears .of remorse,
and her assurancethat, it was
just her nerves, he gave her
12 pound trout. She Was well
