    I decided to set fire in the hole and smoke it out. I pulled out my fire kit and put the drill in the hole of the hearth board. Using the bow I brought, I rubbed the bearing block and the drill against each other. The smoke came whirling around, and soon my beautiful flames started to burn. I blew at the flames, not too hard and not too weak. And there it was, a perfect fire to drive the rabbits out. I set the fire at the den and soon a light-brown-furred rabbit came storming out of its house. Quickly, I picked up my bow and arrow and aimed at the rabbit. Ping! My arrow flew fast and speedy, and it hit directly at the animal. My first hunting was a success! Happily, using my fire, I cooked the rabbit and ate…

    Penguin Creation Myth

    • 676 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the beginning, before the age of mankind, birds were the favorite species of the gods. All birds lived in a vast plain with lush trees as tall as sky scrapers. Grass, green and fresh, spread as far as the eye could see. The great gods adored these winged creatures more than any other creation. One group of birds they especially admired: The Penguins. Their intelligence, distinct colors, and general gracefulness of their nature intrigued the gods. However, the penguins were also known for their cunning acts of foolery. For instance, whenever a god came close to talk to a penguin, or simply to admire a penguin, the mischievous bird would immediately fly away to another part of the world. This made the gods feel foolish and frustrated, creating anger. One way the gods tried getting close to the penguins was by distracting them with shiny pieces of jewelry and metal, because the gods knew that penguins were fascinated by things that were glittery and bejeweled. On some occasions, the penguins would brazenly fly away and hide for a long time, whether it were for days, weeks, months, or even years!…

    A long time ago, before the first real humans ever existed, birds used to actually speak the animal language that all animals use to communicate. The race of birds lived peacefully among other animals speaking the same language. Birds lived as one race together but were separated by equal tribes. Each tribe had its own leader and these tribes lived in harmony together under their group of laws, which was called the pact of the birds. The pact of the birds included laws about behaving, how to act, and the most important rule, which was to never travel to the land of the Sea People. There was a bird by the name of Darius who despised these rules because he thought it was unfair to not be able to travel to the land of the Sea People. Darius was part of the group called The Elks, which was lead by the tribe leader Elkanson. So it all started when Darius broke the pact of the birds.…
