He placed two sticks of wood upon the ground, end to end, in the form of a right angle, with the opening between the sticks in the direction from which the wind came.
Taking the butt of one of the bunches of shavings in his left hand, he scratched a match with his right hand and lighted the thin end of the shavings.

When they were blazing freely he carefully placed the thick end upon the two sticks where they came together, on the inside of the angle, with the burning end resting upon the ground.

Thus the thick end of the shavings was elevated.

Fire always climbs upward, and in an instant the whole bunch of shavings was ablaze.

Upon this he placed the other shavings, the thin ends on the fire, the butts resting upon the two sticks at the angle.
