An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy sth that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks but they still didn't fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's  fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

I think he may bought the match and the candle. The room would be full of the light.
