Playing with Fire at School

 

This boy was trying to start a fire but he wasn't haveing success. So I went to help him. As I got there one of the teachers was saying it he needed to get kerosene or paper, but being an expert in starting fires, and also having experience with the same kind of trees from Australia (Eucalyptus), I knew it would start easily if we constructed it right. The boy was trying to start just the leaves but I put built a little shelf of twigs and we got the fire going quickly. Then other kids came and through leaves and branches on, having a lot of fun in the process. This is something else which you probably will never see with 6 year olds in a country like the USA where everyone is afraid of lawsuits - not to mention laws against open fires.
