I feel like the last panel especially builds on the joke by continuing to divert expectations. It goes from humorously building too accurate of a log cabin, to coming back around to accidentally/on purpose starting a fire, thus completing the initial request.

The cabin is already on fire in panel 4. It is clear what happened. Then the words explain the joke.

  It’s a typical instruction delivery speech structure:
  
  Okay, let me tell you how to ____ 2-n. <steps to do the thing> n. And that’s how you ____ (Optional) n+1. Any questions?
  
  Hence the text in panel 4 completes the pattern.

  The point isn’t it is on fire. The point is the roundabout way of getting it to be on fire.
