I feel safer out here! Dan observed.

What use would a bow and arrow be against that tough hide?
human
You're right. Even my old fashioned Arab gun would hardly send a bullet through it.

How do you suppose the Stone-Age men ever hunted mastodons? asked Dan.
human
Those woolly mastodons with long curving tusks were lots bigger than the elephant.

I guess it was the mastodon that did the hunting in those days, Dick answered.
human
The cave-men were not the hunters but the hunted, if you ask me.

And that goes for the sabre-toothed tiger, too.

I bet it was a toss-up whether the human race would conquer the animals or be eaten by them in the Stone-Age, said Dick.

Maybe that's why the people of today get scared and have panics so easily. It may be a hang-over from the fear that haunted our ancestors.
human
I can't say I'm exactly scared----
