His life was in the city spent But 'twas into the hills he went In his pocket lighter and small knife He never knew they could save his life Alas he knew not what to do And perished in icy mountain dew With a knife he could have a shelter built Of branches twigs and mountain grass A lighter is the soul of life The ultimate giver of life and fire So as they lowered him to the grave They learned the harsh lesson of the day If you wish to the mountains go Then learn thd lesson of what to do

Every year people die in the mountains and forests due to a lack of knowledge
