The Cave-men watched the old man and Sharpeyes until they passed out of sight.
Then the men went out on the hills, while the women and children dug roots near the cave.
After a while they climbed a large oak tree and sat on its strong spreading branches.
Then Brighteyes asked Firekeeper about the bag, and how she happened to make it.
All the children liked to hear Firekeeper talk.
She often told them of the brave deeds of their fathers.
She often showed them how to make useful things that their mothers knew how to make.
They all wanted to hear her now, so they tried to get close beside her.
She told them of Sharptooth and the way she got water by drinking it from the stream.
