ants and animals. What if you couldn’t find your way back and had to wait until someone came and saved you? 16

Fire also keeps dangerous animals away and can let people know where you are. 17 If you don’t have either of the, you can hit a rock against a piece of steel to make a spark(火花)and start a fire. Just make sure that the fire doesn’t spread!
