\"Build<\/a><\/p>\n

They will build a fire to melt snow into water to give to the sheep.<\/strong>
\nIt takes much wood to make a fire to melt snow into water,
\nbut if the sheep have water to drink they do not hunger so much.<\/p>\n

My father blows on his hands to warm them.<\/strong>
\nHis breath looks like smoke.
\nMy father shreds juniper bark to start the outdoor fire.
\nHe takes a lighted stick from our fire. ‘
\nHe takes it outside..
\nHe puts it under the bark and the dry wood, and kneeling down he blows on it.
\nSoon a small flame comes<\/p>\n
