Lagoo is still the one telling the stories. The mouse used to be huge, and Lagoo is going to tell the story of how. Man used to not have fire, ate everything raw. Mostly fruits and veggies. Boy shoots tons of birds so that he can wear their feathers. Sun ruins the boys new coat by tanning the birds hides. Boy vows revenge. His plan is to lasso the run with his sisters hair. Mouse nibbles away the lasso, the sun burns him down. This is why he is so small today. Girl seeks out happy land, a place without worry or care.
