 i waited for the bear at the mouth of my cave i was hungry he was hungry too the clouds blew away and the stars shone down but the bear didn't show up i went down into the valley with some other humans they were looking for bears too we started to build cities i built london, baghdad and san francisco the man from the next cave built cairo and paris i watched a woman build new york and tokyo when we were almost finished the bears showed up they weren't too happy because they couldn't see the stars any more i gave my bear a diet coke and a package of cheese and crackers he grumbled a bit but he took them then we all stood around looking at the dark sky |

I loved this one. Cooperation is a good thing, but I anyway think the bears should have knocked them a bit.
A very modern fable that puts me in the mind of Native American creation myths. The bears definitely got a bad deal. Great ending... very simple but telling.
The dark sky is vast. I met a bear once. He or she was huge and had large teeth.
I was in a car.
