most famous singer for his day. He was not by any means the first, actually, the first stone ager who sang made everybody jump. In fact, he seemed so amazing and wonderful. So unlike everybody else that they took him out to the top of a high hill and chopped his head off with a flint axe just for a warning to other people. Not to be too clever. Unfortunately, by the time Farm came along, people no longer killed off artists unless they were simply too dreadful to endure. In addition to his civic and cultural duties from also fashion things from flint arrowheads and spear heads and other useful items. But the thing about from that made him a mystery man was his uncanny ability to make charms out of Flint to frighten off the bug. A boos who lived in the swamp, he claimed that these charms were very difficult to make on that he could only make them when the thunder spirit was with him. People thought this was wonderfully mysterious, but it was actually just clever advertising from had seen the Thunder spirit only once or twice on would just as soon never see him again. There was no money yet, so people who wanted a charm paid for it with a live sheep. And if they wanted an extra strong charm, they would have to bring two sheep. One day, Farm was trying to make a flint broach with chief Brock Ataka. Tick wanted to give his wife for a present. But the work wasn't going well, had already ruined several perfectly good pieces of Flint when a young warrior named Fat Fat appeared at his doorway, which was really only a piece of hide hanging from the rock ledge above the entrance to his rock workshop. You're supposed to be the wise man of the tribe, Fatfat said, without as much as a How de do I want to know why it is that Brock is chief of this tribe and not me. Thumb was so startled that the rock hammer in his hand slipped and shattered yet another piece of Flint. What do you mean, what everyone called the young warrior fart both in front of his face on behind his back? You remember that in our last great battle, I killed 14 men on wounded 10 Mohr. Of course, I remember said from You may recall that I composed quite a handsome song to celebrate the fact. Then perhaps you remember also that when the survivors ran for their lives, I was the one who took a white mole skin war. Whisk it from the body of the chief and a silver fox petticoat that belonged to the dead chief's wife. Quite true, said Farm. Well, tell me then who has them now? Why Mr and Mrs Brock Ataka tick, Wortham said. Farm. Exactly. Brock took them from me. Indeed, he grabbed all the best things and left the second best for me. He claimed it was his right on. What I want to know is why? Because he's stronger than you. Nonsense, said Fart. I I'm stronger. I am younger on by. Muscles are bigger. I belong to the order of the grey heron feather Justus he does here. He indicated the grey heron feather stuck behind his ear, which was the only thing he wore besides his bare skin. The feather was awarded only two warriors who had killed more than 50 enemies so fat was quite proud of belonging to the order off the G H F in the last battle that continued. He killed only seven men and a boy That shows I'm a better warrior than Old Brock. Mmm. Said from maybe a better warrior, but not a stronger man. He's got a more powerful will. He was born to rule. You were not. If you want to be at the top of the tree in this tribe, you've got to be hard hearted as a wolf. That's where he'd be too. My boy. You're too soft. ****. Considered this for a moment. You're right. He said so what you must make me is a charm that will give me a hard heart. The harder, the better. Mmm. I'm said it can be done, but you'd better think about it. If it can be done, just do it said fart. Thumb shook his head. If I make you such a charm, there'll be no more peace in the tribe until you are Chief. If your charm is strong enough, that won't take long. You know how hard Brocks heart is? You only have to make mine twice as hard. And there's something else. Some said it's true. You'll be chief. But
