Talking to Stone Age people is very hard because they don’t have many words. It is also very boring because all they want to talk about is food. The only people more boring to talk to than Stone Age people are little sisters. All they want to talk about is ponies and fairies. If Stone Age people want to explain something complicated, they usually use sign language. It can be very dangerous, because different tribes use different signs. In most tribes, holding your nose means something stinks. But in Grogllgrox tribes, it means “Can I cut off your head and scoop out your brain?” So you should never agree. Actually, you shouldn’t be trying to talk to a Grogllgrox in the first place. They are very blood-thirsty. If you see a Grogllgrox, the best thing to do is run. Fast. If a Grogllgrox invites you to dinner, you should always say no. Because you are the dinner! 16
If Stone Age people want to tell a long story, they paint pictures on the wall. Stone Age mums don’t mind, because their walls don’t have wallpaper. And housework hasn’t been invented yet. Stone Age people are terrible at Maths, too. Even if they count on their fingers, they never get to eleven. They go 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... LOTS. Arg once made a counting-stuff-thing with sticks and seeds. Each little seed was worth one thing. Bigger seeds were ten things. And really big seeds were a hundred things. He called his invention an Argacus. It worked really well until it got wet. Then all the seeds started sprouting ... and his mum ate it.
