The three thousand-year-old fire in the middle of the night is roaring with excitement. The fire devours all around it, and the three men are about to die. The old man, who is still alive, begs the young man to stop the fire. The young man refuses, saying that he is too busy fighting the fire to worry about his dead body. The elder man says that the fire is not that important to him, and that he would not have gotten involved had it not been for someone.
