One evening last week my and I were sitting quietly at home. Suddenly we
heard a loud bang. I supposed that the old lady in the flat above ours was
moving the furniture about. My wife was afraid that the noise would wake the
baby. She turned down the TV and moment latter we heard someone calling for
help.
I run upstairs. The old lady’s door was shut but I could see smoke coming
through the letter box and under the door and smell something burning.” Ring
the fire brigade .” I should down to my wife.
I banged on the door but the old lady took a long time answer. I was turning
over in my mind the idea of breaking the door down when she finally appeared.
“I was having a bath,” she said,” when the water heater in the kitchen blew up.
And I was getting dressed when you knocked.
I took her down stairs to our flat. Smoke was pouring out of the kitchen and the
heater was in flames. Just then I heard a fire engine arriving outside and the
heavy footsteps of the firemen on the stairs.” It’s in here,” I shouted,” You
turned up promptly, I must say.”
When I got back to our flat, my wife was making the old lady a cup of tea, Soon
afterwards, the fire chief came in to ask a few questions. It turned out that the
fire was not very serious and the firemen were already putting it out. When they
left, my wife went up with the old lady to help her clean up the mess.
When she returned, my wife remarked : “It’s all right now. Nothing was
damaged except the water heater. But wasn’t it lucky that baby slept through the
noise ?’
She took the teacups into the kitchen and I heard her scream and the cups crash
to the floor. When I got there, water dripping from the ceiling and forming a
pool on the floor. The baby woke up at least and began to cry.
