A Stone Age Story

Lightning zapped in the ghostly air up above. A scruffy boy found himself all alone, lost in the knots of the spiky grass of the forest floor. Worried, he began to wander deeper and deeper into the forest of worries. Suddenly, he found himself plummeting down, down ,down. After 18 hours he woke up and he felt cold and wet. He was in a gloomy cave, once he climbed out he met a girl . She did not look like any of the girls he knew and he did not look like any of the boys she knew. They stared at each other in confusion. Sadly they did not speak the same language but the girl told the boy her name was Om.The boy told Om his name was Stone Age Boy because that’s where he felt he was.
