Question

On the way to my classroom
I walk down the long corridor
Past the hundreds of books
Their picture jackets
Colorful and bright
Each one a window onto world
I have never visited
I can see elephants
On a plain in Africa
A jet airline cruising
Far above the white clouds
Waterfalls Icebergs
and cavemen fighting
a saber tooth
While the family cowers in a cave
Such places! Such worlds
Back in a class
There are windows
Looking onto a world I know well

Why does the family cower in a cave?

Answer 1

the family includes women and children. they cower in the cave as they are weak and do not know how to face the might of the saber tooth. whereas the cavemen have to protect their family and hence they have no option but to fight.




im just guessing. the answer could be somewhat wrong
