When the world was very young, people lived only in hot places. They did not live in cold places because they
could not keep warm there.
At first men did not know how to make a fire. Sometimes trees were hit by lightning. Then a fire was started.
People took some of the fire near their homes. A fire was very important for three reasons. It kept them warm.
Wild (野蛮的) animals were frightened when they saw it. And when food was cooked, it tasted much better.
