Читать книгу Just a Little Later With Eevo and Sim - Henry Shykoff - Страница 4

This is the continuation of Once Upon a Time, Long, Long Ago, the adventures of Eevo and Sim. The story is set about 50,000 years ago, in the time of prehistoric man. Their parents, Shim and Dedu, have just returned from their long trip to the Wetlands Clan, the former home of Shim, their mother. They had gone to replace the much-needed flint knife, which originally had been made by Seer, Shim's father. While they were away from their home in the Cave Clan, their son, Sim, then about ten years old, had been driven out of the cave and left to die in the wilderness. The clan people considered him useless since he was lame and not able to help with hunting for food. Their food supply for the coming cold season was dangerously low. His twelve-year-old sister, Eevo, runs from the safety of the clan to help her brother. Together, Eevo and Sim overcame many dangers, discovered fire, rescued a pair of wolf cubs and saved the clan from starvation, and later from a sabre-tooth tiger.

When Dedu and Shim return with a supply of flint tools, they discover that Sim and Eevo have succeeded in making their own flint weapons. Upset by the discovery of what their Cave Clan had done to the two young people, they decide to return to Seer at the Wetlands Clan. Preparations have been made and they are about to set off on a long, dangerous journey, with more adventures for Eevo and Sim.
