April: Back millions of years ago, grown-ups tried to fight them
[This is an image of dinosaurs chasing down a couple of adults, as they try to protect their kids.]
April: Unfortunately…
[A dark shadow is cast over the scene. And in the next frame, the cave kids are left alone. The page turns to kids gathering around a fire in a cave, many of them are sad. Some of them are angry.]
April: The grown-ups couldn’t fight them off, at least on their own.
James: But, aren’t grown-ups bigger and stronger than kids?
April: Yes, they are. But size and strength aren’t the only things in the world.
[April turns the page to show kids talking to each other.]
April: If size and strength were the only things of value, then they all were doomed, and no one wanted to accept that.
[The page turns again. Kids watch a beetle walk straight into a hole]
April: Creativity can be just as powerful
[The page turns to kids sneaking past the remaining sleeping parents, looking very concerned.]
April: That and protecting the ones that you love.
[The page turns to see kids running from the dinosaurs]
April: The cave kids had a plan. They changed weakness into a strength.
[The kids run into a hidey hole. There’s an image of the dinosaur looking inside, looking angry, looking hungry. The dinosaur then rams into the cave, but gets its head stuck and can’t get out. In the foreground, there are some cave kids laughing. Due to the perspective, they are much larger than the dinosaur that has its nose stuck.]
April: If a grown-up had tried this, the holes would have been too big to keep the dinosaurs out.
[Cut to the next image, which is a more dawn-of-civilization appearance, as it would be if it was designed by kids]
April: And since the kids could defend themselves, they built up towns and societies.
