The Fire



The Fire is a Troll tale extracted from the Scrolls of Her. =Fables= "The wind was strong, and the caves were cold. The Trolls were in the caves, and they were cold. Then, a Troll came into the cave, and held a stick in his hand. The stick was alight, and he said that it was warm. The stick kept the Trolls warm. But the fire soon stopped. The Trolls were sad, and cold again. Then, a Troll picked up 2 other sticks, and rubbed them together. "The sticks get warmer as I rub them together", he stated. And he rubbed the 2 sticks together. He rubbed the 2 sticks together for a long time, and they were hot, yet not alight. He stated,"I want to stop"! But the other Trolls were still cold, and asked him to keep rubbing the sticks together. And he did. And much later, there was fire again, and the Trolls were warm again.
