THE CAVE BOY OF THE AGE OF STONE
CHAPTER I
STRONGARM'S FAMILY
It was spring, thousands of years ago. Little boys snatched the April violets, and with them painted purple stripes upon their arms and faces. Then they played that enemies came.
Be afraid!
shouted one, frowning; and he stamped his foot and shook his fist at the play enemies.
I am fine!
called the other; and he held his head high, and took big steps, and looked this way and that.
The little brothers were named Thorn and Pineknot. Their baby sister had no name. The children looked rough and wild and strong and glad. The sun had made them brown, the wind had tangled their hair. Their clothes were only bits of fox skin. Their home was the safe rock cave in the side of the hill.

Where is the little goat? Oh, there she is up among the rocks. She did not run away, Thorn.
No,
said Thorn, she will not run away now, for we pet her and give her things to eat. Mother feeds her, too.
Oh, but she was a wild one when father brought her home,
said Pineknot. Father killed the mother goat and caught the young one alive. He said that he would keep her at the cave. Then some day when he had killed nothing on the hunt, and we were hungry, he would kill the goat.
We will ask father not to kill her, but let us keep her for a pet,
said Thorn.
