Man discovered fire many thousands years ago. The first time he saw fire was probably

man probably made his fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used
fire to cook his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of
the world he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke
signals. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.
Fire was very also used to give light. Before the invention of oil lamp, men used burning
sticks as torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire
baskets from posts to light the streets.
One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that
took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the
candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But
the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the
flame burned too quickly.
