I was asked by a friend to Illustrate a story for him but i can't think of any ideas do you have any? Here it is: The Origin Of Death When the world was new, Old Man and Old Woman were walking around. "Let us decide how things will be," Old Man said. "That is good," said Old Woman. "How shall we do it?," "Well," Old Man said, "since it was my idea i think i should have the first say in everything." "That is good," said old woman, "just as long as i have the last say." So they walked around and looked at things. The old man spoke. "I have been thinking about hunting," he said. "The men will be the hunters. Anytime they want to shoot an animal they will call it and it will come to them." "I agree that men should be the hunters," old woman said. "but if animals come when they are called , life will be too easy. Then it will be hard for the men to kill them. That way people will be smarter and stronger." "you have the last say," Old man agreed. Then they walked some more. After a while , Old man spoke again. "i have been thinking about the way people look like. They will have eyes on one side of their face and there mouth on the other. Their mouths will move straight up and down. Also they will have ten fingers on each hand." I agree that people should have eyes and mouths on their faces," Old Woman said. " But their eyes will be at the top of their face and and their mouth at the bottom and they will be set across. I agree that they should have fingers on their hands, But ten on each hand would make them clumsy. They will have five fingers on each hand." "You have the last say," Old Man agreed. Now they were walking by the river. " Let us decide about life and death," Old Man said. "I will do it this way. I will throw this Buffalo hair into the river. If it floats, When people die they will come back four days after and then live forever." Old Man threw the Buffalo hair into the water. it bobbed up and floated. "I agree we should decide it this way," Old Woman said. " But i don't think it should be done with buffalo hair. I will throw this stone into the water instead. If it floats, When people die they will come back four days after and then live forever. If it sinks, People will not come back after they die." Old Woman threw the stone into the water it sank immediately. "That is the way it should be," Old Woman said. "If people lived forever, The earth would be too crowded. There would not be enough food. This way people will be sorry for each other. There will be compassion in the world." Old Man said nothing. Soon time passed. Old woman had a child. She and Old Man loved each other very much. For a time they were happy. One day though, The child became sick and died. Then Old Woman to Old Man. "Let us talk about death again," She said. But Old Man shook his head. "No," He said, "You had the last say." All I want is ideas. Thanks!
