THE DISCOVERY OF FIRE
The first great discovery that man probably made was that of
fire. We light a fire now by a match. But of course matches are quite recent
things. In olden times fires were made by rubbing two flints against each other
till a spark came, and this spark set fire to a piece of dry straw or some
other dry thing. Fires something occur by themselves in the forests perhaps by
the rubbing together of flints or something else. The animals were not clever
enough to learn anything from this. But man was cleverer. He saw the use of
fire it kept him warm in the winter and frightened his enemies, the big
animals. So whenever a fire started the men and woman must have tried to keep
ti up by throwing dry leaves into it. They did not want it to go out.
