Nice.

One day Wise Woman went to Chief and told him there seemed to
be other humans in the Forest.
She told him many days away she found strange marks in the ground and
also strange footprints.
They were similar to human footprints but had only one huge toe that
seemed to be scarred with many deep wounds. It seemed the Others must be
much taller than any of the People. But they seemed to command fire
so they must be human.
"Ridiculous", said Chief.
It was known for many generations the Spirits created 5 men and 5
women long ago. Those people had children and after many generations there were almost 100 People. There were no Others.
Chief decided to climb to the top of the tallest tree in the
Forest and call to these "other humans".
Alone of all the animals humans had the power of Words.
For many days Chief climbed the tallest tree and called and called
to the Others.
There was no answer.
Chief told Wise Woman about his test.
If there were Others, why did they never answer?
There could be many reasons, said Wise Woman.
Maybe the Others were asleep.
Maybe they were stalking game and had to be quiet.
Or maybe their custom was not to talk to anyone they didn't know by name. "Rubbish", said Chief.
He thought about another test. Alone of all animals in the Forest
people had mastery of Fire.
Chief went to a clearing and lit a big fire.
He threw wet leaves and branches on the fire until a huge pall of
black smoke hung over the clearing.
He kept the fire smoking for many days and then climbed the tallest
tree in the Forest and looked in every direction.
There was no answering smoke anywhere.
The other people did not exist!
He had proved it twice!!
