About the book

A Rollo book that introduces young readers to fire, heat and combustion through simple experiments and talks with Rollo's uncle George.

From the text

“The main design in view, in the discussions which are offered to the juvenile world, under the title of THE ROLLO PHILOSOPHY, relates rather to their effect upon the little reader’s habits of thinking, reasoning, and observation, than to the additions they may make to his stock of knowledge.” Rollo's Philosophy [Fire] · Jacob Abbott

The way in which it happened that Rollo’s father first began to explain to him something about the nature of fire, was this: It was one evening early in the autumn.

롤로의 아버지가 그에게 불의 본질에 대해 처음으로 설명하기 시작한 방식은 이러했습니다. 때는 초가을 어느 저녁이었습니다.

Dorothy was going away to visit one of her friends, and Rollo was waiting for Jonas to come out, and see the fire-flies, or lightning-bugs, as he called them, which were flying about the yard.

도로시는 친구 한 명을 만나러 가려고 했고, 롤로는 요나스가 나와서 마당에 날아다니는 반딧불이, 또는 그가 말하는 대로 개똥벌레를 보기를 기다리고 있었습니다.

But Jonas did not come as soon as Rollo had expected, and so he went into the kitchen to see what had become of him.

그러나 요나는 롤로가 예상했던 것만큼 빨리 오지 않았습니다. 그래서 롤로는 요나가 어떻게 되었는지 보려고 부엌으로 갔습니다.

He found that, as Dorothy was rather late for her visit, and still had her kitchen fire to cover up, Jonas was just offering to cover it up for her, so that she could go at once without any further delay.

그는 도로시가 방문에 늦었고 부엌불도 아직 덮어야 했기 때문에 요나스가 도로시가 더 이상 지체 없이 바로 갈 수 있도록 불을 덮어주겠다고 제안한 것을 알았습니다.

So Rollo came in, and stood by the kitchen hearth to see Jonas cover up the fire.

그래서 롤로는 들어와서 요나가 불을 덮는 것을 보려고 부엌 화로 옆에 섰습니다.

The fire had nearly burned out, but it had left quite a large bed of embers, and a few coals among them.

불은 거의 꺼졌지만, 꽤 많은 숯더미와 그 사이에 약간의 불씨가 남아 있었습니다.

Jonas took the long-handled iron shovel, which belonged to the kitchen fire, and with it he drew forward all these coals and embers, so as to leave the back part of the hearth bare.

요나는 부엌 불에 쓰이던 긴 손잡이가 달린 쇠삽을 가져다가 그 숯과 불씨를 모두 앞으로 끌어내어 화덕 뒤쪽을 비워 두었습니다.

Then he took the tongs, and with the tongs he gathered out from the hot ashes all the coals which he could find among the ashes, and put them back upon the bare place which he had made upon the hearth.

그런 다음 그는 집게를 가져다가 뜨거운 재에서 찾을 수 있는 모든 숯을 집게로 집어내어 화덕 위에 만들어 놓은 빈 공간에 다시 놓았습니다.
