THE SILVERWARE SERIES

# 4 THE SILVERWARE WARS

The Silverware Wars were started one evening at a dinner party. A couple of Tribal Leaders and their families were sharing a B-B-Q of Entelodon (a pig-like animal) on a skewer over a fire in a large and developed cave. It seems that some of the Cave People had been drinking a little too much fermented Seaweed and Wild Blackberry Delight. Something was said about the cave’s host having outdated and rough Stones in her Stoneware. One thing led to another and the woman who lived in the cave (one of Artie and Alice Agor’s many generational great granddaughters) took her favorite Stoneware rock and popped one of the Tribal Leaders just behind his ear and he fell like a beaver tree. He was out until the next day when some of the people lifted his legs and started dragging him back to his own cave bouncing his head along until he finally woke up. This whole event caused some ill feelings among the Cave Community.

About two weeks later while sitting in the tanning circle during Hide Tanning Day the gossip and animosity seemed to grow. It was decided that no one could much trust the others and so every man, woman and child was soon carrying a Stoneware Rock in a little leather bag tied to the waist strap of the Deer Skins they wore. It served as Silverware and a weapon. This was the start of wars and rumors of wars… The Silverware Wars.

No, really, this is what happened.
