FIVE REASONS NOT TO USE FIRE

As told to me by an Ape of my acquaintance.

1. Fire is dangerous. It can kill apes. Worse, one mad Ape could burn
   down the entire forest and kill us all.

2. Fire will upset our social structure. Smaller male apes could fight
   a big ape with fire. Even female apes could do so!

3. Use of fire will make our children lose the strong jaws so important
   to Apehood. Over time we might not even remain Apes at all!

4. Fire will let apes keep warm in places they were never meant to go.
   We should solve all our problems here before we try to live somewhere
   else.

5. Fire is something we have always run from rather than used. It is not
   natural for apes to use fire.
