The Cavewoman in the Iceberge

The Cavewoman in the Iceberg

Once upon a time, there was a cavewoman stuck in a prehistoric iceberg which was also stuck in a cave made out of ice. One day the ice began to thaw out but still, even when she could move she couldn’t find anywhere to live so she had to live in the cave.

The cavewoman was not used to what we have and do today. She didn’t know about PlayStations, Xboxes, McDonalds, lotto, Powerball or any of that stuff. But she did know about money, and she was obsessed with it and getting anything she wanted. She just wanted more and more of anything she could get her hands on. She did also know how to speak so that’s good to.

One day a man that had just won the Powerball came by the cave and saw three people. A drunk guy, the cavewoman and a hobo. He thought to himself for a minute and said, I’ll go and help out the cavewoman. When they had met properly, the cavewoman said do, you have any money? The man said, funny you should ask that  because I did just win half a million dollars from the Powerball. Suddenly the cavewoman had an idea. She started to cry. The man looked at her strangely. Boo hoo hoo. Why do I have to live in this literally freezing cave when a real house would be so much better. The  very nice man took pity on the cavewoman and said, I’ll buy you a house with five bedrooms. The cavewoman lit up with happiness and said, thank you so much! And before you knew it she was in a huge house with five bedrooms. Thanks again! She yelled as the man drove away in his limo.

A couple of months later and the cavewoman saw the man coming down her road. Suddenly she started to go Boo hoo hoo! Why do house when I could live in a gigantic mansion. The man was puzzled to hear this again but still felt sorry for the cavewoman. I’ve already got six mansions so why don’t I give her one. So he gave her one. Thank you so much the cavewoman said again.

3 years later and the man visited again. Boo hoo hoo, said the cavewoman. Why do I have to live in an old mansion when a tropical island would be amazing! The man was getting angry with the cavewoman but again gave her all the money for her to buy an island.

4 years later and the man visited again and heard the disgusting voice again. Boo hoo hoo! Why should I live on a stupid island when a castle would be fabulous! The man got livid and said, no! that’s it! I have had it with you saying boo hoo! I am taking my property back and you can go back to your stupid old cave! And the cavewoman was never seen again by anyone
