About 25000 years ago, the Reindeer People<br />
had pitched their camp at Mosquito River -<br />
which is now known as Morava. They live on<br />
fishing and hunting - and they also hunt bears<br />
and giant mammoths.<br />
Never interrupt an eating bear! On his way<br />
back to the camp, a boy named Ark, who had<br />
been fishing at the riverside, came across a<br />
brown bear that gorges on fresh herbs. Ark is<br />
lucky - the bear wasn´t hungry. It toddled off,<br />
swam acroiss the Mosquito River, and disappeared<br />
eastwards through the high steppe<br />
gras towards the Blue Mountains (= the Small<br />
Carpathians). Then Ark started to pick exactly<br />
those herbs the bear had been eating. Later<br />
on, his grandmother praised him for doing so:<br />
these are real good medical herbs...<br />
The children make friends with the stranger.<br />
He shows them how to make pipes, musical<br />
instruments, and hunting equipment. When<br />
they find out that he won’t be able to join<br />
them traveling south in autumn and will have<br />
to stay behind all alone in winter, they are horrified.<br />
If Great Mother would take pleasure in<br />
calling him, so he tells the children, he would<br />
depart Middle Earth in peace. The children<br />
start to forge out plans on how to enable their<br />
invalid friend to travel with them. Will they<br />
succeed?<br />
A thrilling non-fiction story, set in the<br />
age of the mammoth hunters and in<br />
the region around Stillfried/Morava<br />
(Mosquito River), which shows human<br />
life at that time in detail – hunting, fishing,<br />
and gathering, cooking, tanning<br />
leather, sewing, weaving, and making<br />
tools and jewelry from stone, bone and<br />
mammoth ivory, as well as the dangers<br />
and risks people were exposed to back<br />
then.<br />
