survived by using simple tricks. First, he
made a cozy shelter using branches and
leaves to stay safe from bad weather and
animals. Then, he found food by catching
fish and hunting birds. He made tools like
spears and knives from rocks and sticks to
help him.
To cook food and stay warm, he learned to
make fire by rubbing sticks together. He also
made a calendar from stones to keep track
of time and not feel so lonely.

us that with a little know-how and some
teamwork, we can handle anything that
comes our way.
