ABSTRACT
Her man Ugg was the strong silent type. He had once killed a grizzly bear with only his hands, but he did not have Uggina’s skill for tracking animals. Nor had he mastered the spear, like Nugg who lived nearby. As a result, they had not eaten meat for nearly three weeks. Uggina set about preparing another breakfast of unappetizing wild millet porridge and, predictably enough, Ugg returned soon after, empty-handed from yet another unsuccessful hunting trip.
