In the mud, a green goblin is looking at his turgid reflex. He just shook his head. And let a sad sigh.
"Alek, will hunt?" Goobi, another goblin say to him
Alek stop pandering to his image "Yes Goobi, thanks for using my new name"
"Is very hard to say, you should choose another one" The goblin complain
"You will get used to." Alek responds.
He accepted, this is a new reality, Alek the goblin.
"I find some clues about a pigrat" Goobi says happily. "I'm sure this one will be very fat and full of fat little babies."
Pigrat, are guinea pigs, and the main source of meat in the tribe. They are very annoying to find in these forests, but at least are abundant. "Goobi... I have an idea. Instead of eating the pigrat, why don't we raise them? Put them in holes, and let them get fat and full of babies" Farming guinea pigs for food, much easier than hunting them.
Goobi stops and looks at Alek with bulging eyes "Alek...this is the most stupid idea I ever ever ever heard of. Pigrats need to be let alone to get fat, and when they are really fat they get babies, how will you do that in a hole?"
"They get fat by eating grass."
"Grass!?" Goobi shouts "That's even more stupid! If eating grass can make you fat, why would we hunt pigrats? You need to smart up Alek. They just munch some grass in boredom, they don't eat."
Alek decides not to discuss with Goobi, he will have to farm alone. But he still has one last thing to try to convince his friend to join him.
"Wait a bit, Goobi, look at this" He shows a net, made from plant fibers. "We will sneak at the pigrats, and you try to make them run at my direction. I will capture them with this!" Goobi is analyzing the net. "No one in the tribe uses this thing." he says.
"And nobody catches more them two pigrats. With this, we could catch at least 5." The net is big enough for 5, but Alek doesn't really believe he can catch all that in one go.
"I know two nests, we can try on the first, but if this don work I get the big share on the second nest!" Goobi says. Goobi technically has the right to the big share since he found both nests, but his friend is a great spotter and a terrible hunter. His nose is just much better than his eyes. Both of them know this and usually share it equally.
"Alright, friend! Let's go then!"
