It all began with an avocado pit that appeared midair one day. It just hung there, waiting for something to happen.
So, Og and Julie, the only two people (Cave dwellers) on the planet observed it for a few days. Eventually, Julie had an idea.
“Og, here’s what we do: get two big-big toothpicks and bring to me.”
“Huh?” Og scratched his head, picked out a flea and snuck it into his mouth. “What for?”
“Just go get.” Julie said. “What I tell you about eating head bugs?” She slapped his hand away from his mouth. “They dirty!”
Og grunted and trundled off to find big-big toothpicks. He couldn’t count and had no idea how much two was, so he brought back as many as he could carry.
Julie rolled her eyes and thanked Og for his efforts. She then boarded the raft that Og constructed and poled it until she was close the huge avocado pit.
Being an expert spear-thrower, she aimed a big-big toothpick at the side of the avocado as if it were a dart. It pierced through to the other side perfectly.
Og watched from shore in confusion and amazement, He wasn’t quite sure what was going on, but it looked kinda cool. He also took this opportunity to eat head bugs since Julie couldn’t see him.
Julie then poled around to the other side of the pit and aimed another big-big toothpick which also pierced the pit perfectly. She stepped back a bit observed her work with pride.
Damn, I good.
Julie poled her way back to shore. She noticed Og munching on something and decided to ignore it. Let him eat bugs.
“Now what we do?” Og asked Julie.
“Now we wait.”
“For what?”
“For the world to get here. It will take time. We be patient.”
“What is ‘world?’”
“I don’t know.” Julie shrugged. “We just wait.”
