That night there was enough food for everyone.

- So how do you think it went father? Did the boys behave?

- Oh yes, yes, yes. They all behaved very well.

- And you did get a lot of game didn’t you?

- Yes, yes, we did. I think we had two deer and some rabbits. Or did we get only one?

- No you did get two father, Dubi and Hdajk is preparing the second one to distribute to the rest of our clan now, and the first one is on the table. Or in our belly!. 

- Yes, yes! We are good hunters!

- You truly are, father! You want to eat some more?

- Yes! Very good meat. Very good, very good!

- Father is right, Klyg said. This is very good meat! And very nicely grilled Boui!

- Thank you!

- So, my brothers, how did it go? I still think father seems quite confused…

- Actually it went rather well, Efhag declared. It feels like he is much more forgetful and confused when he is here at the camp. At the savannah he was in his waters so to speak.

- I think we need to keep him busy, Won suggested. It makes him feel useful, and that makes him happy as well.

- This was a nice day, wasn’t it father? Ooops, be careful with that stick!

- Oh! Sorry! Yes, very nice day. Tomorrow I will go hunting.

- Eh.. Actually Won and Lea wanted you to join them tomorrow. They are going to the woods to find roots and mushrooms. You know some very good places for mushrooms, don’t you?

- Oh yeeees! Oyw nodded. I know very good places.
