Barn Burner part II

This is the final entry for Martin's two year accidental arson spree occurring in his youth from ages 9-11 (No pun intended...but it does seem to fit). After Martin torched the barn the first time, the family put up another barn since they lived on a farm and needed one. Apparently, they did not learn their lesson the first time and built the new barn with wood.

The next conflagration is a little different from the previous ones in that the previous ones were "freak" accidents whereas this was more of an accident caused through pre-adolescent stupidity. Martin had learned (in boy scouts, I believe... I wonder what badges he earned...) how to start a fire with materials other than matches (...of which he was, apparently, already an expert). He wanted to test his new skills, of all places, in the barn where no one could see him to see if could make a flame thrower. So he got a hold of a flint, a piece of steel, and some aqua-net and went to work. And, as you would expect, it didn't take him long to roast the barn ... again.

This time his parents learned their lesson and made a new barn out of metal..... not that Martin couldn't find a way....
