Booka is Impatient. Chapter 2

Booka, one of the younger warriors was growing impatient. He knew he could have killed the deer if Poppo had not pushed him aside and went for the kill himself. But Poppo was too slow and the quarry escaped the trap. Booka was hungry, his mother was hungry. His father was Poppo.

As the hunting party walked back hungry and dispirited to the encampment, a wild bore wondered into view on a ridge. The hunting party immediately spread out to surround the pig. Each member of the party knew his task. The younger warriors would sneak around the other side of the ridge and attack from there. The pig would run the other way and into the clubs of Poppo and his backup older warriors.

Booka and the others moved stealthily thru the bushes silently as they have been taught since they could walk. Booka led the group.
