Have you heard of the Olympic Games. They happen every four years and athletes from all over the world race against each other.
At the start of the games, a flame is lit. It is lit by a torch which has been carried around the world. Our friend had carried a torch through Tonga for the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. He still had it.
