“I must say this now about that first fire. It was magic. Out of dead tinder and grass and sticks came a live warm light. It cracked and snapped and smoked and filled the woods with brightness. It lighted the trees and made them warm and friendly. It stood tall and bright and held back the night.” FirstsMadeLightNightFireMagicTreeFilledSticksWoodsWarmGrassFriendlyTallCrackedBrightnessTinder Book:My side of the mountain Source: My side of the mountain
