FIRE. [_Page 119._


1. Fire is useful but dangerous. A spark from it might set a house on
fire. We ought to be very careful about it. Children should never play
with fire.

2. It is so useful that we should not be able to have many things we
have, if we had no fire.

3. When England was covered with forests, hundreds of years ago, people
used to have fires of wood, instead of coal. Wood-fires are not so smoky
as those made of coal, but they are not so hot.
