Long , long ago people made fires from lightening (閃電).But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightening. Later , they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark(火花).The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make a fire by rubbling(摩擦).They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.

As years went by ,people learned other ways to make a fire .Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
