A House on Fire
It was a summer night. I was sleeping on the roof of my house. I was awakened by the cries of Fire! Fire! I got up and reached the spot. The house of Shri Mahajan was on fire. I saw flames rising higher. There were many people. Some were throwing water on the fire. Others were throwing sand. A few people were taking out goods. Mahajan's youngest son was sleeping in the upper storey. He was caught in the fire. He was crying loudly. I at once took a ladder and climbed up. The boy was safe. I took him down before the ire reached the storey. The boy's mother got very happy. She thanked and blessed me. Soon the fire-brigade arrived. The firemen set to work. They fought the fire for an hour. They brought the fire under control. There was a great loss of property. But thanks God, these was no loss of life.
