One Dark Night on an Uninhabited Island
- What do you say to this? - Wait a minute.
Franz, you're sly. You've said that three times already.
- Please return the piece to its place. - Oh, really. I guess I have to.
If that's a bad move...
Okay. I'll do this.
Ah! Then I'll do this. - Okay.
Those two seem to have fun playing chess.
It's a nice way to pass the time.
Checkmate! Oh, the light...
Everyone, stay where you are. I'll light it again.
Now where did I put the matches...
Franz, you'd better not take advantage of the dark and move any of your pieces.
This is the fifth time I've checkmated you.
It's too dark to move the pieces. But I could reverse the board.
Not fair! Don't do that!
Oh, Mercre, don't do that! That tickles!
Huh? Where are you, Mercre?
Not fair, Mercre. You can see in the dark!
Mom, hurry and light the lamp!
Strange. I was sure I put them here.
Please hurry and light it, Mom! Franz is going to cheat!
- I won't cheat! - Hey! Have a little patience!
- Your mother will light the lamp soon. - Okay.
How strange, I was sure I put them here.
I found them! I have them!
Franz, you're a cheater!
- Really! - I was found out.
Oh, the wind blew it out.
What a mess! They must be moist.
Anna, try not to waste them all. The matches are vital to us!
- This time I'll be more careful. - All right. I raise up the glass of the lamp.
- Oh, not again! - Give the matches to me.
Yes.
Anna, this is empty. There are none left.
Oh my!
What is it, Anna?
I've been too careless.
Dear, we have no more matches. We have used them all.
What are you saying?
- That was the last box. - But we still have matches.
Flone, did you hide them?
No. There were some with the firewood at the cape, remember?
Those are for lighting the fire in case a ship passes.
We can't use those.
So now we can't make fire or light our lamps?
Well, there's no need to worry. I know how to make a fire.
- Right. I know it, too. - How do you do it?
Dad, you have a magnification lens in the bag, right?
- Sure. - Use that magnifying glass.
Oh, I know how to use that.
The lens focuses the rays of the sun at one point until it gets hot.
Yes.
But we can't do that until the sun comes up tomorrow morning.
Exactly. Perhaps we will think of other ideas for making fire.
But we can't do that tonight. We have to wait till tomorrow when the sun rises.
That's right. Now let's all go to bed early and rise early tomorrow.
- How boring... - Oh! Now I've done it.
- Franz, you did that on purpose! - I didn't do it on purpose! It's dark, you know.
Really!
Well, it's all right.
Anyway, tonight had the upper hand.
- It's not burning. - The sunlight is too weak.
This is troublesome.
We can't have breakfast until it clears up.
- Jack! - What is it, Dad?
I'm sorry, but would you mind lending me one of the your treasures?
- What treasures? - Those small stones you've collected in the stream.
Some are white and bright, right? Could you give me the biggest one?
- What will you do with it? - I will use it to make fire.
All right!
Franz, would you crush the charcoal into powder?
- Okay. Is that all I have to do? - Yes.
Hmm... All right! This one will be fine.
Ah! Sparks! Sparks!
- Franz, now put the ashes at the stick. - Yes.
Good!
It doesn't work.
So it won't work?
It's no good? And there were so many sparks.
Perhaps the sparks aren't enough to start a fire.
I don't know what else to do.
That's it, the rope is ready.
- Anna, bend this, please. - Yes.
- Is this okay, Dad? - Let me try.
Dad, will that make fire, too?
That's right. Now look.
Now, you two will pull the bow from either side.
Are you ready? Then you start, Flone.
Ah! This is fun!
I see! The ashes under the stick gets hot because of the friction.
- This will light a fire? - Sure. It gets hot gradually.
- It's starting to smoke! - Keep going!
Just a little longer.
- We did it! - Dad, you're the best!
Well, now I can make breakfast.
It's good to have a fire burning.
Yes, it's very nice. It's good to gather around the fire with the family.
If you hadn't succeeded in lighting the fire,
we'd have to eat fish and meat raw, like the animals.
Flone, would you have eaten that?
No! I get chills just thinking about it!
That's the difference between animals and humans.
Man is the only one who knows how to use fire.
Now that you mention it, that's true.
I read in a book that civilization began with the discovery of how to use fire.
You're right.
However, given our experience here today,
you know that it's a hassle to work this hard whenever we need to make a fire.
Then you better keep the fire going. - Yes.
But you consume a lot of wood that way.
But there's plenty of wood here.
Yes, that's true, but then we would have to have someone watching the fire.
I see. That could be a problem.
- Thanks for the food. - Thanks for the food.
Franz, bring the lamp to me. I want to light it before the fire goes out.
I see. We'd better not take a lighted torch into the house.
We will have light tonight!
Since there is no wind tonight, it shouldn't go out.
Franz, tonight I will defeat you!
Oh, chess? I hope to put you in your place tonight, Flone!
I just knew you would say that!
Last night, it was dark. I couldn't see anything.
Even when the lamp was lit, you couldn't decide!
Tonight I'll win!
- Ah! Franz! - Franz!
Oh, it's broken.
- That was the only lamp we had. - I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize. We don't have any more oil anyway.
Without that, it wouldn't make any difference.
That's true, but promise me you'll be more careful when you go down the ladder.
Yes, I'm really sorry.
I can't sleep.
Close your eyes, and you'll fall asleep soon.
Okay.
It's a shame we no longer have oil, now that we knew how to make fire.
No matter how hard I try, I can't go to sleep.
That's because it's still early.
There's a limit to how early we can go to bed and rise up.
This place is close to the equator.
Both day and night last 12 hours.
But, at least for me, it is impossible to sleep for 12 hours every night.
If we sleep that much, our eyes will rot!
Huh?
Flone, where are you going?
Franz. Now there's enough light for us to play chess!
Huh?
- It's no good, huh? - Flone, giving up like that is bad.
Okay.
How far are you going?
It would be a shame to spoil Flone's sight,
so we're going to look for something to use as a lamp.
Something to use as a lamp? Is there anything like that?
I'm not sure, but I think have an idea that might work.
- I want to come with you! - Me, too!
Jack, you can't go with them.
Since we'll come home late today, you'll stay here with your mother.
I know. Could you light a fire for us in a couple of hours?
Yes, of course! I will do as you taught me yesterday. Don't worry!
Be careful, dear. I think we can do without a lamp.
Don't worry. Come on, let's go.
Please be careful.
- What could replace a lamp? - I have no idea.
- Perhaps fireflies! - Fireflies? That can't be!
But I have heard that in ancient times,
in the east, there was a man who studied under the light of fireflies.
He was poor and couldn't afford a lamp.
How romantic.
- Checkmate! - Not at all!
Ah, that's unfair, Franz!
It's fading...
It stopped.
I don't think that the light of a firefly is sufficient to play chess.
Not even to read a book, for that matter.
I agree that a firefly can't replace a lamp.
It would take at least a hundred or a thousand to make enough light.
If you did that, some of them would be shining all the time.
- I have no way out, do I? - No, you're already dead.
I wish we had those fireflies.
There once was a man who studied by the window
with the reflection of light by the snow.
I also studied by the light of snow when I was in Bern!
But it's impossible for snow to fall on this tropical island.
These fruits are very slippery.
Don't they? That's why I think they can be of help.
Let's hope it will work.
We have gathered enough.
- Flone, would you please make the fire? - Sure!
I want to do it, too!
- Hold this. - Okay. I'm ready.
- Jack, you hold the other side. - Yes!
I'm starting now.
This is fun!
I can help you with this whenever you want, Mom.
All right, from now on I'll leave this in your hands.
- It's beginning to smoke! - Okay, just a little more!
Strange. Yesterday, there were flames at this point, now there's only smoke.
- Let's do it with more force. - But I'm tired.
What a softy you are! I'll continue doing it myself.
Wait. Didn't your father add some coal dust at this stage?
Yes, now that you mention it, that's true. Wait a second.
Now, let's try again.
It looks like it will work this time.
It's starting to burn!
- Hooray! - Hooray!
- We made it! - We made it!
Dad has come back!
- Welcome back, Dad! - Were you able to make fire?
Sure! Now I can do it whenever there's need.
I see. That's great.
What fruit is that?
I do not know the name, but the tree seems to be similar to a wax tree.
Do you think we can extract the oil?
It seems incredible that we can use that to make oil for the lamp.
Now, observe. You should stir them while they are cooking.
That should be enough. Anna, give me a basket.
Yes.
These fruits contain a kind of oil.
If you put them in boiling water, the oil separates from the rest.
Now I will let the water cool.
Look. The oil congeals on the surface because it's lighter than water.
And it hardens when it has cooled.
It hardened!
Now we will take this,
and warm it up again.
Franz, please break off a bamboo cane.
Now make a hole in the center of each end,
and place a thread across it on both sides.
Stretch the thread and put it at the center.
Okay.
You have to hold it still for a moment.
It's getting hard.
You can let go of the thread now.
- Looks like it's fine. - Try to separate the two parts.
Oh!
Now I understand! It's a candle!
How wonderful!
Huh?
- Oh, it was too loose. - Dad?
There's no doubt that's wax, so it should have hardened.
But the outside is hard.
Maybe it happened because you poured all of it at once,
and the inside didn't have time to solidify.
Why not try to pour it a little at a time?
- Franz, shall we try again? - Yes.
This time, we'll use the cane at the last stage.
Now I'll make the wax flow along the thread until it hardens.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
- It's hard. - Good.
- Go on. - Good.
That should do, now cover it with the bamboo.
- It seems that it will work this time. - Separate the parts.
- This time it worked, Dad. - Yes.
- They made it! - Hooray!
Now, let's light it!
And so, our home was once again illuminated at night on our uninhabited island.
A candle creates a cheerful atmosphere that reminds one Christmas and birthday parties.
- Franz, we'll settle things tonight! - All right!
Wait a minute!
You two are to study now.
Now that we have solved the problem of illumination,
you can study a couple of hours in the evening.
No! I don't want to!
Flone, what is it? In ancient times, people studied
in the light of fireflies or the reflection of snow, you know.
I didn't expect this.
It would have been better to sleep until my eyes rotted!
Since we'll be out of bullets soon, we have to make bows.
I'm very skilled at using it, but Franz...
Next time: Brother is an Archer
Please look forward to it!
