Ug hunter. Ug hunt at night with other men. Ug hear rustling of leaves. Silent. Ug worried a tiger about to attack everyone.
Then, rustling of leaves come closer. Everyone scared. Everyone worried. Silent.
Suddenly, bunny rabbit comes out of leaves. Now, no one scared. Ug and other men have good laugh to shake off stress of fear of tiger. Ug keep hunting.
This was the world’s first joke, a scary tiger that turned out to be a fluffy (not the Monty Python kind)bunny. We laugh to build relationships with others, and to de-stress after stressful situations. Often both at the same time.
