I arrived in the Smiths back patio to find the Smith boys with a can of gasoline and a box of matches. They were pouring a ring of gasoline on the cement in a large circle, every one would get in the middle and they would light the ring on fire. This was done several times each time with the ring getting smaller. Finally in a small 2 foot ring that 1 person would stand in. It gave you a warm gush of hot air.
After most of the gasoline was used up we all gathered around the play house they had built in the back yard. Really it was a hole dug in the sand that they had nailed boards up into a 3 sided lean too. The last of the gasoline was poured on the structure and the Hut was set to Fire.
We then began to dare each other to go into the hut, which several of us did. we then made bets on who could stay in the house the longest. Bright huh! How none of us got burned that day is beyond me. I like to assume we all had a greater purpose in life than to die in a hut.
