The poor caveman walks away, sobbing. Red is holding his hurt foot and Brown tells him he's sorry. But Red ignores him. After Red's foot stops hurting, he takes a nap. Brown tries his best to think, but soon he digs a hole and pulls out some flowers. When Red is still sleeping, Brown tries to give him flowers, but he gives up and throws them away.

He and Red are happy and laugh. At the end, all cavemen whistle together.

"Sharing a Chair": Brown and Red walk up tired and sweating. Brown tries to sit on a rock, but it is too flat. Red notices a cactus and then sits on it. Suddenly, the thorns pinch his rear end, causing him to scream and land on his tummy. He then pulls out a chair to Brown's surprise. Brown asks if he can sit in the chair, but Red ignores him. Brown sit's on a turtle's shell with a turtle's head peeking out, and drives him off the ground. Brown asks Red if he could sit in the chair with him. Both cavemen try to sit in the chair, but fall off. Brown has another idea. He pulls out a present for Red: a cuckoo with a turning hand. A smile spreads across Red's cheeks as he and Brown watch the clock and soon decide to take it to Red's house.

"Umbrella Sharing": Red and Brown are sitting under a rock on a sunny day, until some storm clouds appear and a lightning strike frightens them. They look up and they could see a drop appear.

Red asks if he could cover himself with something. Brown walks away, until Red squirts his face with a hose, and then rubs his eyes and asks if he could share the umbrella with Brown, and Brown says yes. All cavemen are happy while sharing the umbrella.
