ts to the god of
the cliffs. When they thought he was satisfied, they all went back to
the cave. And after a while they used the big rock as a table for
their work.

Chew-chew wanted the children to grow to be brave and wise. So she
told them stories of the bravest and wisest people of her clan. She
told them stories about their grandfathers who were the heroes of the
olden times. And Fleetfoot never grew tired of hearing about the
wonderful things which his grandfathers did.

And so Chew-chew taught the children all she thought they ought to
know. And they looked into her eyes and listened to all that she said.

#THINGS TO DO#

_If there are cliffs or shelving rocks near by, go and see them.
Find places where you think caves may form. Find out why it is that
the rocks shelve. Why does a shelving rock sometimes break and fall
to the ground?_

_Model the cliffs which you find. Model a cave which is formed in a
cliff._

_Tell a story which you think Chew-chew might have told to the
children._

_Play one of these plays:_--
_Chew-chew telling stories to the children._
_What the people did when the rock fell near the mouth of the
cave._

_Draw a picture of something which you have played._

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

Why did Chew-chew tell the children stories about their
forefathers?

Why do we like to hear such stories?

Do you think that the later Cave-men will hunt in just the same way
that the early Cave-men did?

What change took place in the animals while the Cave-men were
learning to be good hunters? What change did the Cave-men have to
make in their hunting on account of this?

Of all the animals you know, which are the fastest runners? Can you
think how they became fast runners?

_Fleetfoot's Lessons_

When the men were at home, Fleetfoot liked to stay with them. He liked
to watch them make spears; he liked to watch them run races; he liked
to listen to the stories they told about the wild animals.

When the men went out to hunt, Fleetfoot wanted to go with them. But
he was a little boy, and had to stay at home. Sometimes he went with
his mother when she went to dig roots; sometimes he went with her to
gather twigs for baskets. But the safest place for little children was
not far from the fire. So Fleetfoot stayed at home nearly all the
time.
