Trang 1The moon had gone behind a cloud and there weren’t many stars in the sky It was dark night I saw a glow in my neighbour’s kitchen I thought he was having a midnight snack
so I went to back to my bed
Soon, there was a burning smell in the air and I suspected something was wrong At once, I jumped out of my bed and went downstairs to investigate I saw fire coming out of
my neighbour’s kitchen Instinctively, I shouted ”fire ! Fire!” But there was no one nearby to hear my shouts for help
I rushed into my house, called the Fire Department and went back to my neighbour’s house I rang the doorbell, banged on the door and called out my neighbour’s name but there was no response I managed to break into the house and rescued a cat and a rabbit
I tried to throw buckets of water through the kitchen window but it was no use; the fire was too strong Luckily, a fire engine arrived and the firemen put out the fire They arrived in the nick of time as the fire was going to spread to the other rooms in the house
When my neighbour came back, he was sad because his kitchen was a wreck but he thanked me for calling the Fire Department and for saving his pets He wanted to give me some money as a reward but I did not accept it
Weeks later, my neighbour repaired and restored his kitchen He invited me to his new kitchen and there he gave me a medal that he had specially ordered from a factory It made me very happy
