After finding Zoe, Evelyn Ford took the two children home. On the way, Zoe excitedly shared everything that had happened today with Evelyn—eating, using the restroom, taking a nap... Everything seemed new and fun in her eyes. Evelyn and Annie listened intently, praising her from time to time.
"Auntie, the teacher also taught us how to make fire by drilling wood today. My hands are almost raw from rubbing. We obviously have lighters at home, so why do we have to drill wood to make fire?"
"Because not everyone has lighters and matches. Do you have a lighter on you right now?"
"No."
Evelyn looked at the two of them and said seriously, "If you're ever in danger and don't have a source of fire, the first thing you must do is make one. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat and you'll freeze. Learning how to make fire is very important. You need to practice well when you get home, understand?"
