Alf orders the tribe to make him a giant mound. While making it, Newfangle makes a rhythm by hitting pieces of flint together and thus he invents music. (en) Newfangle and Crag discover the piles of mud shaped like shelters help to protect the tribe from the heat. They become so popular that Newfangle tries to cash in by inventing a system of payment to use them. (en) Newfangle offends the elders of the tribe and hides away to avoid being savaged to death. While in hiding, he discovers his words carry a new power. (en) Newfangle is forced by Alf to come up with a new invention for the annual feast because of the alpha male's recent hunting disasters. A lightning strike results in his latest discovery - fire. (en) Newfangle's latest invention, diplomacy, fails when Alf upsets another tribe. Newfangle is then forced to come up with a new weapon to help win the war. (en) Newfangle invents language in the hope it will improve his standing, but soon finds the system is open to abuse from gossip, lies, slang and swearing. (en) |
