Og hunts alone now. It is hard to kill animals alone. Mostly, there are berries.
Some of the berries make thunder in Og’s stomach. The thunder wants out. Og squats in the bushes.
Then Og uses the fire leaf by mistake. Now there is burning where Og sits. So much burning that Og screams. The screams bring the spear-mouth and Og must climb the big tree. The spear-mouth can not climb the big tree, but there was something else in the tree. Not a good day for Og.
In 250 words or less, tell us a story incorporating the elements in the picture. The 250 word limit will be strictly enforced.
