STANLEY

A long time ago there were no houses and people lived in caves.

Stanley lived in a cave, but he did not like it.

The cave was cold. So Stanley was cold.

His head hurt because he had to sleep with it on a rock.

Bats flew around as though they owned the place.

“Why can't we find a better way to live?” asked Stanley.

“This is good enough for us,” said the other cavemen.“Why isn't it good enough for you?”

The cavemen carried clubs. They were very tough.

Stanley was tough, too.

But he liked to plant seeds in the ground and watch them grow.

He liked to paint pictures

He liked to be nice to people.

He was kind to animals.

The other cavemen did not want Stanley to act this way.“Can't you act more like a caveman?” they asked.

Stanley did not answer.He went on planting seeds and painting pictures.

He went on being kind to animals and nice to people.

He even started saying things like “Please,” and “Thank you,” and “Lovely day today, isn't it?”

This made the other cavemen very angry.“You can't live here,” they said. “Beat it!”

They threw rocks at Stanley and chased him away.

“We're sorry you lost your cave, said the animals.“I don't care,” said Stanley. “It was cold anyway.”

He looked for a place to live. “You can't live in a nest,” said the birds.

“You can't live in the water,” said the fish.

“You can't live in the ground,” said a worm.

“Maybe I can live in a tree,” said Stanley.

“Not while I'm up here,” said an ape.

“Maybe I can live in space,” said Stanley.He jumped off a rock.

“Ouch!” said Stanley. “I can't live in space!”
