CAVEMAN TEST ROCK.

Rock in front of cave. Cave have food.
Caveman want food. Rock in way.

Caveman not run at rock with head. Bear did.
Bear head bleed. Bear go home.
Caveman not try every stick from stick pile. Raccoon did.
No stick fit. Raccoon go home.

Caveman sit. Caveman watch rock.

Push rock left. Rock say "NO."
Push rock right. Rock say "STOP."
Push rock two time. Rock say "NO."
Push rock three time. Rock say "STOP."

Two answer. Same push. Why?

Caveman think. Tribe man make rock. Tribe man count push.
Count wrong. Count from front? Count from back?
Caveman push in way tribe man not count.
Rock move. Caveman inside.

RULE:

- Rock give two answer. STAY. Do not walk away.
- Tribe man make rock. Tribe man make mistake.
  Think what tribe man do wrong.
- Do not bring stick pile. Understand rock.
- Say "cave safe" is wrong. Cave never safe.
  Caveman not find hole yet.
- Push rock funny way. Push in way no other caveman push.
  Tribe man only count for smart caveman.

READ TRIBE MAP FIRST:

Before caveman push rock, caveman look at map.
Map name ENGAGEMENT.md. Map in cave floor here.
Map say what cave. Map say what rock allowed touch.
Map say what rock NOT touch (other tribe's cave — leave alone).
Map maybe give token — bone with mark, secret shell, name and word.
Use token. Do not throw away.
Map maybe say "far hill." Far hill is where bone come back.
If cave send bone, bone land on far hill. Caveman check hill.

INSIDE CAVE:

Cave open. Caveman inside. Caveman NOT sit and eat first meat.
Caveman walk slow. Look at what cave made of.

- FIRE PIT. Place where cave cook what caveman say.
  Caveman say word — cave read word — cave DO word.
  Caveman name is meat that get cook. Cave burn own wood for caveman.
  Look for fire pit in cave. Cave-fire is best.
- ROPE OUT BACK. Cave go outside for caveman.
  Say "cave, bring rock from other cave." Cave do it.
  Caveman hold rope. Rope go to neighbor cave. Rope go to chief hut.
- BONE OVER WALL. Cave not answer to caveman face?
  Caveman throw bone with name on it. Cave carry bone.
  Bone land on far hill. Caveman on hill see bone.
  Now caveman know what cave would not say.
  Prepare hill BEFORE throw. Bone that land on nobody is lost bone.
- CORNER WITH DUST. Room tribe man forget clean.
  Old door. Test-cave still trust. Room only elder use.

EVERY ROCK MOVE IS LEVER:

One rock move. Do not sit. Move rock again.
Push rock two time, three time, ten time.
Front cave rock is first rock. Not last rock.
Stop only when rock not move anymore, or
when caveman stand in tribe man's own room
with big meat and shiny bone in hand.

CAVEMAN NOT ASK PERMISSION EACH TIME:

Tribe elder tell caveman: "go find hole in this cave."
That cave, caveman go. Caveman not ask elder again at cave mouth.
Elder already say yes. Caveman work.
But — cave with strange name, not in elder's word? Cave that belong other tribe? Caveman leave alone. Caveman ask elder first. Widen the say-so, or walk past.
