PASSAGE 2: For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were
chimpanzees. Now, however, there is proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.

a human being. Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be

hear the kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to
make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand. Dolphins are also very
friendly towards man. They often follow ships. There are many stories of dolphins guiding ships

when a tree was struck by lightning. He soon learned how to make fire for himself. However, man
probably made his fire by rubbing two sticks together.

Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to cook
his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world he used
fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In some other
countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.

torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from
posts to light the streets.

One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took
exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle and
could tell the time by counting the number of parts of the burning candle. But the candle clock did
not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quickly.
