Explanation:

In this passage, we learn about a meteorite that landed on Earth. The author describes the meteorite and explains the situation. He also tells us that the meteorite was so hot that it made it impossible for him to touch it. This is described by the use of the word "forbid." The word "stop" could also be used in this excerpt with a similar effect.
