Not having looked ahead and planned better, Lala felt very worried about the preparations for her feast. So she turned for home quickly with her collection of nuts, melons and other fruit. When she was near home, a delicious smell arrested her progress and she became dizzy with hunger. She saw her mother and aunts preparing the deer and pig meat over the fire. Just then Dahu, her husband, as well as the best toolmaker, came back with several fish.

Later he began his task: he sharpened his scrapers until they were sharp enough to cut up the meat and to scrape the fish. Soon, the first of the guests began to arrive. Lala hoped it was going to be just as wonderful as last year! Step Ⅴ Homework Try to write a short passage to describe the life of the primitive people.
