Fifty thousand years ago, the first dawns of cultivating civilization had begun to take place; as two men joined forces to demolish a large oak tree, and carve its wood into protective shelter. Whilst doing so, they started wondering why they were chosen as the only creature to see this foresight of ingenuity. Upon glancing to the skies, they concluded only God carries such an answer.
