PRECIS
The first great discovery that man probably made was that of fire. We light a fire b
y 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 places of dry straw or some other dry things. Fire sometimes occurs by itself in the forests perhaps by the rubbing of flints or something else. But animals were not clever enough to learn anything from them. But man was clever. He saw the use of fire. It kept him warm in the winter and frightened away his enemies the big animals. So, whenever a fire started, the men and women must have tried to keep it up throwing dry leaves into it. They did not want it to go out. Slowly they must have discovered that they could produce a spark and a fire by rubbing flints together. This was a great discovery for them and it gave them some power over the animals. The man was then well on his way to the lordship of the world.
