A HOUSE ON FIRE

Last Sunday I went to bad at 9 pm and slept a sound sleep. Suddenly I woke up at about I am. When I heard a hue and cry at a little distance, I got up from bed and ran to the spot. I saw that a cottage was burning. People were rushing towards it. The old woman and the poor little girl who lived in it could not come out. They were crying for help inside the cottage. Everybody was throwing water on the burning cottage but nobody dared to enter the room. At last I requested a brave young man to rescue the old woman and the poor little girl. My eyes were full of tears then. He looked at my face once again and suddenly rushed into the cottage. He came out with the little girl by his arm and the old lady on his back. I thanked god and felt very happy for the noble deed the young man did. It will be a treasure in my memory for a long time.
