Because humans are inherently vulnerable, because even if they can use tools, they can only subdue the beasts during the day and get enough food, but at night, they can't fight the beasts in the dark night when they can't see things clearly.

Because they are not born with sharp teeth and do not have enough strength to compete with beasts in the dark, humans are very afraid of the dark and cold, and when it comes to night and winter, they will always gather together in fear, but they will still be attacked by beasts.

One day, Prometheus happened to go out on errands, passing by the village where humans lived, because it was dark all around at night, Prometheus only heard the sound of wild beasts being arrogant and excited, and the helpless cries and screams of humans, Prometheus knew that humans were in danger, so Prometheus decided to lend a helping hand to help them.

Prometheus came to the people's village and used his power to help the humans drive away the beasts, and the humans were finally able to spend a peaceful night, and the humans were grateful to the good god, so they told the good god everything about themselves.

The daylight makes it impossible for the beasts to hide, and at night the beasts come and attack the human villages, not only making a mess of the entire village, but also killing innocent humans, and even taking the newborn baby away, perhaps being eaten.

They had no choice but to gather together every night to protect the women, the elderly, and the children, and the men were on the periphery waiting for defense, but in the darkness they could not see anything clearly, and the darkness provided the best environment for the beasts to hide, and they were often injured, and some even lost their lives at night, and whenever it was night, they would panic.

They are grateful to Prometheus for helping them and allowing them to spend a safe and peaceful night, but after Prometheus is gone, the next night they will still face the attack of the beast, or the beast will destroy the whole village, and their companions will also lose their lives, and they will have no light at night, they will not be able to disperse the darkness and illuminate the village, so that the beasts cannot hide.

"Daddy, they need lights, right? The lights light up in the dark, right? Hearing this, Xiao Bai Rui asked his own question.

Ji Mochen smiled and touched his son's head, rejoicing at his innocence and cuteness, and paused before Ji Mochen said, "En...... It is indeed something that needs to be illuminated in the dark, but it is not a lamp, because at that time it was still a primitive society, it was when people were just born in this world, they did not have the ability to invent lamps, they could only use even the simplest tools, because that was just the beginning, you continue to listen, the answer is later. ”

"Yes." Xiao Bairui nodded, and continued to look at Ji Mochen, his eyes blinking, waiting intently for Ji Mochen to continue to tell the next story.

Prometheus immediately understood, because he knew what could light up the village in the dark night, and he remembered that there was this thing in the divine realm, right in Zeus, and he thought that he could help the human race to ask Zeus to give a little fire to the human race, so that the human race could also have light in the dark night to scare off these beasts, and also have something to keep warm in the winter, thinking like this, Prometheus was very happy.

In order to prevent humans from being attacked by beasts again in the second half of the night, Prometheus decided to stay in the human village for another night and wait until the sun rose before leaving, and the humans were happy.

The next morning, when the sun rose high again and the light covered the earth, Prometheus said goodbye to the humans and told them that he would come over these nights to help them drive out the beasts, and just as the humans were looking forward and grateful, Prometheus returned to the Temple of Olympus, and he wanted to meet Zeus.

Zeus was indeed in the temple of Olympus, Prometheus stepped forward and reported to Zeus what he had seen last night, he said: "Dear King Zeus, I passed through the human village yesterday, they are always in darkness every night, they are attacked by wild beasts, their children will be taken away by wild beasts, they will also lose their lives because of the attack of wild beasts, their villages are always in a mess because of the merciless wild beasts, it turns out that our people suffer such a thing every day, so I would like to beg you, Help us, a helpless people! ”

Zeus was also amazed when he heard this, and he said, "Ah, have you always believed that our people live in such fear and helplessness every day? Prometheus, you tell me, how can we help them to get out of such danger and fear? ”

Prometheus saw that Zeus cared about humans, so he said: "Dear Zeus, the beasts are afraid of light and heat, because the darkness provides them with an environment to hide, and humans cannot see things in the dark, so they cannot judge the position and direction in which the beasts will appear, I would like to ask you, give the humans fire, so that they can have light even in the night, so that they can repel the beasts that come to attack, and they can keep warm in winter, so that they can continue to live in safety." ”

Zeus originally listened very carefully to Prometheus' suggestion, but after Prometheus proposed to give fire to mankind, Zeus violated the look of concern just now and said to Prometheus:

"This method doesn't work, Prometheus! The fire is a symbol of nobility and holiness, representing the eternal light of our God to illuminate the world and guide the way for the people of mankind. I also don't want to see my people hurt, so I thought maybe we could send some people to clean up the beasts around the human villages, and maybe that would be fine, don't you think? ”

Prometheus did not expect Zeus to abandon people's lives and deaths, he said: "There are so many beasts that cannot be cleaned up, and they cannot be cleaned up, then the world will fall into chaos!" You've given them fire, you've given them the tools to defend and keep warm, and they'll be grateful to you! ”

"No! Tinder is a bright and noble thing, humans don't deserve it, that's all for today Prometheus, I'll leave first if I still have something to do, I'll figure it out again. ”
