Dear Mulberry,

You looked for the thinnest sticks and broke them into pieces. We found a jar to gather them in for the fire. Someone else filled the kettle with water. Maegan reminded everyone that I was the Fire Tender. You asked me before adding sticks to the fire.

You’d found sticks that burnt fast and hot and heated the water just the right amount for tea that was warm but not too hot to drink. Then the fire burned out. I made Maegan the Fire Tender, and she guided you in making fire soup, adding water to the hot coals until they were cool enough to touch.

We drank tea and ate biscuits and shared the Karuk story of how Grandfather Coyote tricked the Yellow Jacket sisters to steal fire.

Love,
Teacher Michelle
