time travel

Three stone-agers were sitting around their fire chatting about what the future would be like, when in a flash one of them disappeared. The others were astonished but agreed to meet the next night in the hope that he might return. Sure enough, at the rising of the moon the missing fellow reappeared, looking none the worse but clearly excited.
    'What happened to you?' they asked, and he replied 'I think I traveled into the future!'
    'What did you see?' they wanted to know.
    'Many wonders, but in some ways the people are just like us. Although they wear clothes of bright colors and strange materials, like us their teeth are often aching, as I saw them holding their hands on the sides of their heads and muttering in pain.'
    'What else did you see?' one asked.
    'Well, they hunt as we do, with tamed wolves leading them to their prey on long leather thongs.'
    'Ah yes, we do that, too; and what else?'
    'I saw that to keep their enemies from tracking them they carry the turds of their wolves in pouches by their sides.'
