I gave the pebble to Adrian and he placed it on top of the leaf, this time putting pressure on the bruised area. Rachel cried out in agony.
“Slowly give the flame to me,” Adrian said.
I passed the flame on the stick carefully. Very quickly, Adrian placed the flame on the pebble and wrapped the leaf round it.
