Pine knots are full of resin. It wouldn't be hard tu imagine a
monkey breaking off a branch of pine, exposing resin to the sun. If that
monkey was in water, the sun can magnify through water drops, and ignite
resin. -- Mario

Sun -> water -> branch with resin
So, the branch is under water? And it's supposed to ignite?
