“Lighting a Match”

When lighting a match, it is important to follow these steps carefully.  First, tear one match out of the matchbook.  Second, close the matchbook cover.  Third, strike the match against the rough strip on the outside of the matchbook.  Finally, after the match has been used blow it out carefully, and be sure it is cool before you throw it away.
