The large Pit in the Floor was for making a Fire, which had a Shaft for Venting Air into it at one Side, in Order to make the Fire Burn Well. Also, notice the small round Hole in the Floor at the bottom and left side of the Photo. That Hole was used to Remind them of where they came from. Indeed, as they sat around the Fire during the Winter Months, and Talked about their Ancestors, they would Appoint some Child to Ask, “Grandfather, what is this Hole for?” And then the Grandfather would Answer him, “My Son, that Hole Represents the Place where our Forefathers came from, who came up from a large Hole that comes out of the Earth: because the Earth was left Hollow after the Moon was Born from it, which left a Paradise on the Inside of the Earth, where the Holy City of the Great King is located. Howbeit, our Forefathers came out of that Land, and got themselves Lost in this Land; and at last no one could Remember how to get back into that Good Land: because that Part of the World was Frozen like Ice, which is why that we are still Living here.” And then the Boy would say, “But, why do we not send a Company of Men to go Searching for that Good Land, until they Discover it?” And the Grandfather would Answer, “My Son, there will come a Time when the Good People will indeed Search for that Land, and they will Find it: because it has not gone Away. Nevertheless, until then, we have many Lessons to Learn, and Especially how to Live in Peace with one another, by being Contented with only those Things that we Need, such as Food, Clothing, and Good Houses with Proper Tools.” And then the Grandson would say, “Grandpa, will you Teach to me how to be Contented with such Things, since there is no End to a Longing Desire to have more and more?” And he would Answer, “O my Son, you must Learn to put your Trust in God, who is the Great Rewarder, whose Great Spirit is everywhere, who Knows all Things, and who Understands what we have Need of; and it is none of those Vain Things that the Heathen People Try to Sell to us, who are not Contented with Food and Clothing: because their God is their Money.” And thus they would talk long into the Night, until almost everyone had fallen Asleep.
