First Fire Story.

I was watching the mosquito tiki-torches burning a few moments ago, and got to thinking about stories around the fire.

I wonder what the earliest story ever told was. Like, you know, when cavemen were sitting around with other cavemen, they had to talk (or grunt) about something . . .

Here's an writer's rendering of the first story ever told:

"Once upon a time, yesterday, I threw a spear at a mastodon. It died, and I ate some of it. In fact, you probably ate some of it too. The end."

I want to turn this story into a movie. But I don't know who to contact about copyrights...
