Built of bamboo trunks and a bamboo leaf roof, this small hut has one window on each side and a short door, where those who enter must stoop down so they don't hit their heads. A dirt floor is covered with palm fronds gathered from the jungle; four small rocks are placed around the center of the room, forming a place for the occupants to sit. A small fire burns just outside of the hut, and a wooden spit is suspended over the fire. One of the support poles of the hut has a woven grass bag hanging from it. The bag contains a half-dozen coconuts, clearly gathered for consuming at a later time. A colorful lizard is sleeping in the sun in one of the windows.

tribe chief
a gecko
I often spend my day soaking up sun on a large rock. I look for insects to eat. I am afraid of larger predators.
Hello, tribe chief Why hello there little one. Where did you learn to talk? I've been talking for as long as I can remember, but not everyone can hear me. How long have you been able to understand geckos? Haha you are a funny one, you are the first gecko I have ever heard! Those coconuts over there sure are tempting. I usually eat bugs but...are you using those for anything? Not at all they are my rations, but I will be more than happy to share with you. You're the nicest tribe chief I've ever met, most of 'em just try to cook me! Do not worry I like you too much to harm you Cheers! That is a first time I have seen someone eat a coconut whole!! I have a magic stomach! It's like a bottomless pit. I could eat you whole if I wanted. That sounds amazing! I would love to have a stomach like that!
