Yum always chose
where they would sleep at night as Dum didn’t care as he could sleep anywhere
so Yum found a corner away from the families with children, checked the floor
of the cave and swept it with her hands so there would be no stones sticking
into them.
Dum meanwhile was
grunting at the other men no doubt trying to tell them how good Yum was; so she
decided to hit him when he came back to her.
Dum was surprised
when she hit him but because he thought she liked him, so he got up
again and went to look at the stars outside where a girl was there too
looking up at the moon.
He could see its
light reflected in her eyes so as he touched her on her arm she turned and
smiled at him not noticing he had only one eye because it was so dark.
Dum was about to
touch her again when he heard a scream as Yum came out of the cave, pushed him
out the way and with one hand and pulled the girls hair with the other then scratched her face.
She turned to Dum
hit him for a second time then grabbed his hand and pulled him back
into the cave but he didn’t protest he knew she really loved him now despite
the others in the cave laughing at him in the dark.
Quite a story!
ReplyDeleteLooks like guys back then didn't do much better than many today at keeping their eyes and hands to home. Good for Yum for adjusting his attitude, let's hope the lesson sticks! :-) Fun story Old Egg. People are people, no matter when or where.
