THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

How do you think the fire clan spent the evening?
If they could not say what they wished to say, how do you think they
would make themselves understood?
How do you think that they learned to hunt together?

_How People Learned to Hunt Large Animals_

For many days the men talked about One-Ear's narrow escape.
They acted the whole thing over again.
One man would show what One-Ear did.
Another would take the part of the cave-bear.
Then some one would play he was Bodo and rush up with a make-believe
torch.
Others showed how the men came up to the spot and helped One-Ear home.
They played this over and over again.
They learned to work together.
They learned to play other plays as well.
They learned it in this way: They watched the wild animals all through
the day.

[Illustration: _A leader_]

At night they showed what they had seen.
At last they made plans for hunting them.
They did it the way children make a new game.
First they chose a leader for the play.
Then the leader asked them all to help.
He showed them what to do.
They all did as the leader said.
They learned to play together.
This play was their hunting dance.
It helped the people to hunt together.
It helped the brave men to lead in the hunt.
It helped all the people to do their part.
Only brave men were given a chance to lead the hunting dance.
Each one led the best that he could.
The people always chose the man that they thought led the best.
This man led them all in the hunt the next day.

THINGS TO DO

_Let any one who would like to lead in a hunt, lead in a hunting
dance._
_When all have led who wish to do so, let the class choose the one who
led the best._

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

Why do you think the Tree-dwellers liked their brave men best?
How do you think they helped them to become more brave?
Can you think why people had not yet learned to wear clothing?
Why would they care more for ornaments at first?
Have you ever heard any one speak of "a feather in one's cap"?
Can you tell what is meant by it?
What kind of ornaments do you like to wear?
Do you know how to make them?
Can you make such ornaments as the Tree-dwellers wore?
