Nobody had breakfast that morning.
Nobody had a mouthful to eat all that day.
All the Cave-men watched the flood from the trees.
They heard the ice when it began to crack.
They heard the roaring of the river as it beat upon the dam.
They knew that it was wearing its way through.
About midday there was a loud crash.
The Cave-men then knew that the dam was broken.
They saw the water pour through the dam and sweep everything in its path.
Before sunset the flood was gone.
