如果我们的任何读者有幸看到打火机的葬礼，得知打火机是一个陌生而原始的人，他们将不会感到惊讶。自从第一盏公共灯被熄灭以来，他们严格遵守从父到子流传下来的古老的仪式和习俗；他们通婚，并在婴儿期订婚他们的孩子；他们没有参与任何阴谋或阴谋（谁听说过叛徒的打火机？）；他们没有犯本国法律的罪行（不存在谋杀性或盗窃性打火机的情况）；简而言之，尽管他们表面上动荡不安，但他们仍然是一个高度道德和反省的民族：他们彼此之间拥有与犹太人一样多的传统习俗，并且至少在身体上，甚至不如山丘一样古老。和街道一样古老。他们的信条是，在没有公共费用的情况下，第一盏路灯照亮了真正文明的第一缕微光。他们在异教徒神话中直接追踪他们在大众尊严中的存在和崇高地位。并认为普罗米修斯本人的历史不过是个寓言故事，其中真正的英雄是打火机。
