The Story of Fire

Many, many years ago people did not have warm, cozy houses like ours to live in. They lived in
caves where it was both dark and cold. Once when a great storm was raging a tree was struck by
lightning and the flash set it on fire. It happened to fall near a cave where some of the cave
people were hiding. They were frightened at first and huddled in a group. After the storm was
over they ventured out to look at the burning tree. One of them took a burning branch and
brought it into the cave. They discovered that it made the cave both warm and light. They wanted
the fire to keep on burning so they fed it with sticks and dry leaves. From this time on fire
became a great blessing to man.
