How The First Letter Was Written (1970)
In a prehistoric setting, Taffy, a young girl, accompanies her father, Tumi, to the river to fish. When Tumi breaks his spear, Taffy wishes to send a message to her mother for a replacement. Unable to communicate verbally with a stranger from a distant tribe, Taffy draws a picture to convey her request. The drawing leads to a misunderstanding, causing chaos when the stranger brings Taffy’s mother and tribe to the river. Eventually, the situation is resolved, and the story concludes by noting that Taffy’s drawing was the first letter ever written, paving the way for written communication.
