The Discovery of Fire
In Tierra Del Fuego it is said that once there lived two good spirits, the brothers Loalox.
One day, the elder brother found some stones, which he repeatedly beat against each other.
One of these stones was a Flintstone. When he was playing with it a spark arose suddenly.
The elder brother was surprised to see a spark and so he tried beating it against another stone again.
Then he took a handful of dry grass and made the spark above them. Suddenly, there was a flame.
So he gathered more dry grasses and wood, and put them on the flame. He had discovered the fire!
He cried happily, "This is a great gift. I will make sure that the fire will always burn without ever dying down."
However, the younger Loalox brother had another idea. He told his brother,
“It is better if people have to work hard to get the fire and they must earn it in a difficult way -
otherwise they will get too comfortable and lazy. A person who extinguishes the fire,
must light the fire himself again." Then, the younger brother put out the fire.
