it is hard work, lighting a fire. There are a few ways to do it. You can take two stones and strike till the friction produces heat enough for a tiny spark. You hold it right over something parched, a handful of dry twigs or a glob of manure
The spark flies and then you nurture it, blowing gently till it begins to warm.
Then you watch those flames glow and grow till they are a cackling riot against the inky night sky.

i have the stones
I am so very dry.
It's time to light it up.
