在掌控火之前,一天的长短由阳光决定。火光延长了一天的工作时间,提供了交流、分享想法和发挥创造力的时间。在美洲原住民的手语中,见面交谈的概念是通过来到火堆旁和分享想法来定义的。即使在今天，我们剧院的脚灯也模仿祖先讲故事人脸上闪烁的火光。如果我能回到过去,我希望能亲眼目睹我们的第一位祖先获得生火的技能。没有一项现代发明的重要性能与第一把火的产生相提并论。30多年来,我一直在教学生们如何通过各种已知的原始手段生火。虽然我们永远不会知道哪种是第一种生火的方法，但有些事情永远不会改变。每当一个学生成功地进行摩擦生火时，他们的脸上都会亮起巨大的成就感。就像一个古老的仪式,第一场火燃烧的情景被重温。

Before controlling the fire, the length of a day is determined by sunlight. The firelight extended the working hours of the day, providing time for communication, sharing ideas, and unleashing creativity. In the sign language of Native Americans, the concept of meeting and talking is defined by coming to a fire and sharing ideas. Even today, the footlights in our theater imitate the flickering flames on our ancestors' storytelling faces. If I could go back in time, I would like to witness our first ancestor acquire the skill of making a fire. No modern invention has an important performance comparable to the production of the first fire. For over 30 years, I have been teaching students how to make fires through various known primitive methods. Although we will never know which method is the first to start a fire, some things will never change. Whenever a student successfully rubs and ignites a fire, their faces light up with a huge sense of achievement. Just like an ancient ceremony, the scene of the first fire burning is relived.

Before controlling the fire, the length of the day is determined by the sunshine. The firelight prolongs the working hours of the day, providing time for communication, sharing ideas and exerting creativity. In Native American sign language, the concept of meeting and talking is defined by coming to the fire and sharing ideas. Even today, the footlights in our theater imitate the flashing fire on the faces of our ancestors' storytellers. If I can go back in time, I hope to witness our first ancestor acquire the skill of making a fire. No modern invention has the same important performance as the first fire. For more than 30 years, I have been teaching students how to make a fire by various known primitive means. Although we will never know which is the first way to make a fire, some things will never change. Whenever a student successfully makes a friction fire, their faces will light up with a great sense of accomplishment. Just like an ancient ceremony, the scene of the first fire burning was relived.
