NAME:

Giro the caveman

Giro the Giraffe is looking at her favorite book of the moment. It's about cavemen. “They had a nice life, living in caves and killing mammoths for food,” he thinks.
– I'll make a bow and arrows! – Spin decides.
He leaves and finds a bent branch.
'Now I need a rope that will stretch,' he mutters. Maybe Mom has one.
Mom has it, before handing it out for a ride, she says:
“I want you to promise me you won't aim your bow at anything that's alive or that might break. You promise?

'Yes,' replies Giro, quite seriously.
Giro ties the rope to the ends of the branch. Soooo! He pulls the arrow and then releases it.
Now he needs some arrows. He goes back to looking for Mom.
'I can give you three wooden skewers, but I want to hear you again promise you won't shoot anything alive or breakable.
“I promise,” Giro says.
Now he is prepared to be a caveman. He places his toy elephant on a box.
– You will be a mammoth today, okay? - Spin talks softly with him. He placed an arrow on the bowstring.
“Now I pull the string with the arrow back, aiming for the mutant and let go,” he thinks.
Soooo! The arrow flies towards the mammoth and hits it!
- Wow! I achieved! I could be a caveman! – he exclaims. – Mammoth steaks for dinner tonight!
But what he really wants is a cookie.
