  1. Making Candles
    People used to make candles long ago by boiling the sheep fat in a pot. Then they got white thread and dipped it in the pot to boil and then the wick was made. Then they would take out the candles and leave them get hard. When they were hard they were put away.
    Burning Lime
    Lime is burned by a big fire. The place that lime is burned is called a lime-kiln. Lime stones are put in to be burned and when they are burned they are made into lime.
