Bring Fire

ccording to Aboriginal legend, long ago and far away in time,
Athere was once a tribe of people who lived in the sky.

These people were lucky, because their camp was right next to the two biggest,

brightest stars, which they could use to light their fire sticks. The people of Earth
had no such luck. They had no stars and no fire, and life was dark and cold.

However, what use was fire to the sky people if they had nothing to roast on it?

What use was warmth and light to an empty tummy? This is exactly what their
wisest and eldest tribeswoman said when, one day, they ran out of food.
