As he did this, -86- flew from the hot iron in all directions. After he had achieved the shape he wanted, he threw it into a wooden -87- filled with water, where other blackened the objects lay. Man’s destruction of his -88- began to show a very long time ago as areas of forests were cleared for use as farmland.
