Very soon they had to fight with another tribe, a tribe that was stronger than they; but the sword of Loz was terrible and his tribe slew their foes. You might make one blow at Loz, but then would come one thrust from that iron sword, and there was no way of surviving it. No one could fight with Loz. VERY SOON THEY HAD TO FIGHT WITH ANOTHER TRIBE A TRIBE THAT WAS STRONGER THAN THEY BUT THE SWORD OF LAWS WAS TERRIBLE AND HIS TRIBE SLEW THEIR FOES YOU MIGHT MAKE ONE BLOW AT LAWS BUT THEN WOULD COME ONE THRUST FROM THAT IRON SWORD AND THERE WAS NO WAY OF SURVIVING IT NO ONE COULD FIGHT WITH LAW
 encampment, just as the tribe moved on, the Stone Age passed away, which, for perhaps thirty or forty thousand years, had slowly lifted Man from among the beasts and left him with his supremacy beyond all hope of reconquest. It was not for many days that any other man tried to make for himself an iron sword by cooking the same kind of small furry beast that Loz had tried to cook. It was not for many years that any thought to lay the meat along stones as Loz had done; and when they did, being no longer on the plains of Thold, they used flints or chalk. It was not for many generations that another piece of iron ore was melted and the secret slowly guessed. Nevertheless one of Earth's many veils was torn aside by Loz to give us ultimately the steel sword and the plough, machinery and factories; let us not blame Loz if we think that he did wrong, for he did all in ignorance. The tribe moved on until it came to water, and there it settled down under a hill, and they built their huts there. ON IN THE LITTLE ENCAMPMENT JUST AS THE TRIBE MOVED ON THE STONE AGE PASSED AWAY WHICH FOR PERHAPS THIRTY OR FORTY THOUSAND YEARS HAD SLOWLY LIFTED MAN FROM AMONG THE BEASTS AND LEFT HIM WITH HIS SUPREMACY BEYOND ALL HOPE OF RECONQUEST IT WAS NOT FOR MANY DAYS THAT ANY OTHER MAN TRIED TO MAKE FOR HIMSELF AN IRON SWORD BY COOKING THE SAME KIND OF SMALL FURRY BEAST THAT LAWS HAD TRIED TO COOK IT WAS NOT FOR MANY YEARS THAT ANY THOUGHT TO LAY THE MEAT ALONG STONES AS LAWS HAD DONE AND WHEN THEY DID BEING NO LONGER ON THE PLAINS OF FOLD THEY USED FLINTS OR CHALK IT WAS NOT FOR MANY GENERATIONS THAT ANOTHER PIECE OF IRON ORE WAS MELTED AND THE SECRET SLOWLY GUESSED NEVERTHELESS ONE OF EARTH'S MANY VEILS WAS TORN ASIDE BY LAWS TO GIVE US ULTIMATELY THE STEEL SWORD AND THE PLOUGH MACHINERY AND FACTORIES LET US NOT BLAME LAWS IF WE THINK THAT HE DID WRONG FOR HE DID ALL IN IGNORANCE THE TRIBE MOVED ON UNTIL IT CAME TO WATER AND THERE IT SETTLED DOWN UNDER A HILL AND THEY BUILT THEIR HUTS THERE
