I always seem to have an Event when I open the game - small ones that don't really do anything important or gain points.
The others just came along, seemingly soon enough.

The Aspiring Doctor
Aloha has fallen gravely ill. She is also an aspiring healer and has long theorized that pure algae from the sea has healing properties.

Eat algae – The algae is nutritious, if not delicious. Whether it was due to healing properties or just nourishment from the algae is hard to say, but Aloha feels better and has learned something. (Gained Healing skill.)
Better not –

The Aspiring Doctor
Umara has fallen gravely ill. She is also an aspiring healer and has long wondered of fasting for a full day would cleanse the body of poisons causing the illness.

Fast –
Eat - Umara is too hungry to pull this off. Maybe next time.

The Pretty Shell
Two children have been constantly fighting over a pretty, round shell. Varo is sick of the bickering and decides to intervene. The children will have either to be taught to share the shell, or they will have to decide who will keep it.

Teach kids sharing - Sharing is important and teaching children about this is good parenting. They agree to share the shell, and Varo reflects on how well this went.

Teach kids negotiation – Not everything can be shared, and in this case, a lesson about negotiation is more valuable. However, even after they pick an owner for the shell, one of the children feels very bad, outmatched at the debate over the shell. Still, the fighting has stopped. Iapo's approach was innovative and effective, although maybe a bit harsh.

The Robber Crab
While looking for shells on the beach, Pahura spots a rare robber crab. The tails of these crabs are known to have potent healing properties.

Cut off its tail – Pahura brings the crab to the lab where they carefully remove its tail. The poor crab dies, but the healing fluid is easily extracted from the tail. Now that they know how to do this, the entire tribe becomes better healers. (Didn’t happen to all of mine, but the majority gained at least a little, and Pahura became adept.)
Let it go -

Innovation in Construction
Latati has devised a new way to approach hut construction. She believes that having a worker at the top of the structure to hoist building materials to the top would make hut construction more efficient. She volunteers to test the technique, despite it being extremely dangerous. A fall could mean injury or even death!

Try the technique – Perched at the top of a scaffolding, Lalati tries to stay on her feet, but seen loses her balance and falls a great distance to the hard ground. (She died.)
It is too dangerous -

The Lie
Mai found a delicious rare mushroom and ate it, instead of bringing it back to the food bin as she had been taught to do. An adult was nearby and asked, "What are you doing, little one?" She isn't sure what to say.

Lie –
Tell the truth – Mai admits to eating the mushroom. The adult says, "You know that was wrong. Now go help the farmers pick blackberries — and no dinner for you tonight." Mai feels better at having told the truth and learns a lot by helping the farmers that afternoon. They also let her nibble on blackberries.
