Perhaps you have wondered if these stories are true.
Let us see if we can find out how we got them.
You know that the Cave-men lived long ago.
You know that they could not read or write.
You know that they did not write any stories.
But they told their children the brave deeds of their people.
They told them of combats with wild beasts.
They told them stories about their gods.
Their children told these stories again.
These stories were told a great many times.
