Two-Legs took the amber from the boy and looked at it. He rubbed it and caught the fluffs. He held it close to husks and little bits of paper.
“Look, the spirit catches them too!” said the boy and clapped his hands.
More came and looked on. They told it to others, who left their work and came and stood and stared at Two-Legs and the amber.
“Is it a spirit, Father Two-Legs?” asked one of the elders.
“A mighty spirit,” said Two-Legs. “A new and rare spirit. I do not know him. Go to your work and leave me alone, so that I can explore him.”
“Give the spirit a name, Father Two-Legs,” said the man who had spoken before.
Two-Legs reflected that the people in the part of the world where he was then living called amber electron.
Then he told them that they might call the spirit of the amber Electricity.
