:03:00
ln this world of theirs,
nothing is bad or evil.
:03:05
Even a poisonous snake is not bad.
:03:07
You just have to keep away
from the sharp end.
:03:12
Actually, a snake is very good.
In fact, it's delicious.
:03:16
And the skin makes a fine pouch.
:03:20
They live in the vastness of the
Kalahari in small family groups.
:03:24
One family of Bushmen might meet up
with another once in a few years.
:03:28
But for the most part,
they live in complete isolation...
:03:32
...unaware there are other people
in the world.
:03:35
In the deep Kalahari, there are Bushmen
who have not heard of civilized man.
:03:40
Sometimes they hear a thundering
sound when there are no clouds.
:03:44
They assume the gods have eaten too
much and their tummies are rumbling.
:03:49
Sometimes they can even see
the evidence of the gods' flatulence.
:03:54
Their language has
an idiosyncrasy of its own.
:03:57
It seems to consist
mainly of clicking sounds.
:04:06
They're very gentle people.
:04:08
They'll never punish a child
or even speak harshly to it.
:04:11
So the kids are extremely well-behaved.
Their games are cute and inventive.
:04:25
When the family needs meat...
:04:27
...the hunter dips his arrow
in a brew that acts as a tranquilliser.
:04:31
When he shoots a buck, it feels
a sting and the arrow drops out.
:04:35
The buck runs away,
but soon it gets drowsy...
:04:37
...and it stops running.
:04:41
After a while, it goes to sleep.
:04:48
The hunter apologizes. He explains
that his family needs the meat.
:04:56
The characteristic which really makes
them different from all other races...
