As you wake up in the same spot that you were in last night, you feel a new type of feeling.
Your body is filled with aches and pains and you shiver due to the early morning fog.
That is not the new feeling though, the new feeling is in your stomach.
You sit up and your stomach growls, you feel as though you are going to fall over.
Your head pounds inside, and your stomach churns once again...
...But this time not in a good way...
You get onto all fours and let your head hang, you feel something crawling up your throat.
After that new experience, you get back on your bottom and think of what that horrible taste is in your mouth and what is lying on the ground next to you - your dinner.
You look down at the bottom of your legs.
"What's that?" You wonder.
You touch these things and feel in between the indents of these - that is your foot.
You realise you can control these as well as your legs and so this is the first time you stand up.
You experiment and take your first steps!
You're a bit wobbly and stumble a couple of times but you'll get the hang of it.
And so you pick up your stone and get started on the day.
***
You have walked around all day today and have caught a few critters.
A dove, a few insects, and a buck all in which you have used your trusty stone to kill.
You feel proud of yourself and you then follow your next victim, keeping in mind that you have left your dinner next to a few rocks.
Silly you.
You follow your prey all the way to this marshy type land.
"WHAT'S THAT?"
You walk up to this brown liquidy substance and try to pick it up, but you fail.
You squat next to this substance - a trick that you have just learnt - and you cup your hands together and bring it to your mouth.
This is the first time that you have drunk water.
Amazed and in love with this "water" you take more and more sips, which then turn into gulps, and you then start to walk in the water.
It's a little bit cold but you deal with it and you wade through the water, loving this feeling.
Naturally, once it gets too deep for your feet to touch the ground, you quickly "run" back to where it's shallow.
By now you have forgotten about your food and eventually fall asleep in the water for the night...
