A long time ago, there were no houses and people lived in caves.

很久很久以前，还没有房子，人们都住在山洞里。

Stanley lived in a cave, but he did not like it. The cave was cold. So Stanley was cold.

斯坦利住在山洞里，可他一点都不喜欢这儿。 山洞里冷飕飕的。 所以斯坦利也冻得慌。

His head hurt because he had to sleep with it on a rock. Bats flew around as though they owned the place.

他睡觉的时候头要枕在石头上，疼得要命。 蝙蝠飞来飞去，就好像这地方是它们的似的。

Why can't we find a better way to live?" asked Stanley. This is good enough for us, said the other cavemen. Why isn't it good enough for you?

"我们为什么不能找个更好的法子生活呢？"斯坦利问。 "这对我们来说已经够好了。"其他穴居人说。 你为什么就觉得不够好呢？

The cavemen carried clubs. They were very tough. Stanley was tough, too.

穴居人都随身带着棍棒，一个个凶巴巴的。 斯坦利也很强悍哦。
