Follows character Abdi who while walking home from school finds a cigarette lighter on the floor. Intrigued, he decides to keep it and continues walking home. Once home Abdi goes to his room and begins messing around with the lighter, fascinated by the flames. He tries lighting a piece of paper but, shocked by how quickly it burns, blows it out and puts the paper in the bin. Later, while downstairs the paper in the bin begins smoking and relights causing a fire in the house. The family evacuate and call 999.
Months later, Abdi is on route to the outdoor swimming class at the local lake. Upon arrival, there is a sign saying class is cancelled due to low temperatures. Initially disappointed, one of the friends suggest still swimming anyway as they know a bunch of safety tips. Abdi is still concerned and suggests the safer options of the local indoor swimming pool which is supervised with a lifeguard. They agree and all head off together.
