Thanks to any1mark66 for the prompt this week.
Portache loved to draw.
Sometimes his choice of material was a little unusual, but nobody really minded. He was only seven years of age, and it wasn’t as if he was doing any damage.
Portache discovered the magic of mixing clays and water to produce colour for his artwork, plus the beauty, and permanence, of using the edge of a stone on another to make his mark. He liked to draw everyday things and drew a picture of himself keeping his workplace tidy.
Fast forward three million years, the Experts were trying to explain his drawings in the rocks, which ranged from stick animals to spears, flowers and fires.
No-one had any suggestions for this one though, but the Professor’s young daughter unknowingly came pretty close when she said it looked like an anti litter campaign.

Lovely tale – it would be nice to think in a few thousand years we have left a mark for other sto remember us by.
I wonder if anyone has found our beer bottles and messages we left buried under our tree in the New Forest in the 90s.
Hahahaha! A young child in ancient times drew these petroglyphs! Love it!
And why not? I keep thinking of some obscure thing I cam leave somewhere for Man to find in a thousand years and really confuse the life out of them!
Hahaha! I think you should!
Very beautiful story.
Thanks Neel.
On looking at the picture again I think she may be right! Excellent.
