Making fire

Making fire

Since the Maasai don't have matches or lighters, they make fire the old fashion way, by rubbing two sticks together. It takes a lot of rubbing. But since they do it their whole lives, their hands get used to it. When there's smoke between the to sticks, they put it into a piece of cow dung and blow. Within seconds, there's FIRE!
