Never Play with Fire

Once upon a very cold and dreary day, two little girls decided to play.

It was cold in their bedroom..the only warmth a small heating unit.
The girls huddled against the heater, but still shivered with the cold..

A thought occurred to the "older" girl, "lets sit on the heater, then we will be warmer."  

But it was too hot to sit on..so the little girl put a jacket on the heater...the girls sat, and it worked..for a time..then they needed to add another shirt..then another...

A fire caught and started to burn the clothing...

the little girl ran screaming from the room, the older girl just watched and stared...

All of the sudden, the older girl smelled peanuts...
"Did you want to burn the house down?" 
no answer
silence

She felt her calf burning, she smelled burning peanuts, she "played with her doll"

"Never play with fire, you will be burned.........."
