A House on fire
It was on the night of November that a fire a broke out in a big house.The house was situated in one of the most crowded lanes of the city.It had three floors and many rooms.It is said that about six families were occupying this house.
The first started in the second floor and soon spread to all the parts, of the building.Many c-
auses were given for the outbreak of the fire.One gentleman said that the fire had been left burning in the fire place,near which was lying a piece of cloth.The piece of cloth caught fire.The fire which had at first been a tiny flame developed into a big blaze.It touched the rafters of the roof ,and gradually spread over the windows and other parts of the house.The worst thing was a strong wind blowing at that time.This fanned the flames till the houses in the neighborhood also come very near catching the fire.
At that time cries of lamentation went up from the house.Babies screamed, women wailed, and men shouted for help.Some neighbors were good, and tried to bring the fire under control at one.The first brigade soon arrived, and was able to get the flames down in about an hour and a half.
Much damage was done to the building.Most of it was nothing but heap of ashes,but some parts of it escaped utter destruction .The inhabitants of the house also lost much.Their clothes and furniture were burnt to ashes, and much valuable property has been lost.The whole loss was estimated at five million rupees.It is said that the building was not insured against fire.If that had been done, the owner would have been able to recover his loss.
While the house was on fire, one gentle man showed much courage.It is true that all the inmates were able to escape with much difficulty.But one boy was reported to be missing,He was about thirteen years old, and was reading in a school, made up his mind to save him from there flames.The way in which he scaled the burning walls of the house was very remarkable.Many a time he was very near being burnt to death,but he avoided the fire with much cleverness.At last he reached the second floor of the building.He found that cries were coming from one of the rooms .He went inside that room, and found the boy in much distress.The sight of this gentlemen filled the boy with hope, and he the boy much distress.The sight of this gentleman filled the boy with hope and he at once in much distress.The sight of this gentleman filled the boy with hope, and how he climbed down the wall again.As he came down in the street everybody felt very happy and the parents thanked him again and again.
