This new fire was a way to make their food taste even better. The Aboriginal
people smiled at the sky brothers and thanked them. They thought the fire was
a wonderful gift, and they lit their own fire sticks and carried them back to their
villages with the greatest care. “We must never let this fire go out,” they said.
The sky brothers were so relieved not to get in trouble with the Earth people,
they took their fire sticks and the food they had gathered and ascended to their
home in the stars, never to return again. You may spot them hunting in the sky
sometimes – just look for two bright stars.
Write it!
Think about all the
things that humans can
do because of fire. Can
you write a list? See if
you can get to 10!
