Tools:

Atomizer/torch
Paint/yellow
Eraser/dead tree
Pencil/candle
Pencil/dynamite

Interaction:

Make various things for Mowgli to stick into his pot of coals and light on fire to make the "Red Flower"

ATOMIZER:

--Creates an unlit torch, with cloth tied about its end. Mowgli seizes this and lights it.

PAINTBRUSH:

--YELLOW transforms a rock into an EAR OF CORN. Mowgli takes this, gives us a skeptical look, then dips it into the fire pot. The end of it lights, but after a moment the kernels start popping and popcorn goes flying! Mowgli throws the cob away and gives us a "thanks for nothing" look, before rooting around behind a rock and coming up with a long stick, which he then lights.

ERASER:

-- Erases the roots and branches of a dead tree, leaving it a slim pole. Mowgli grabs this, sticks one end into his pot, then comes up with a burning "Red Flower."

PENCIL:

--CANDLE creates an oversized candle which Mowgli dips into his "pot" and lights it. --DYNAMITE makes a stick of explosives. Mowgli's eyes bug at this. He shakes his head "no way!" and throws the explosive away. He then roots around behind a rock and comes up with a long stick, which he then lights.

AUTOMATIC:

--Mowgli roots around behind a rock and comes up with a long stick, which he then lights.
