Michael was playing video games in his bedroom.

Then, he
suddenly heard an explosion nearby. He ran to the kitchen as
soon as he could. He looked shocked and scared. He told his
parents that he heard that explosion. His dad went outside as
fast as he can, and he saw fire nearby. He called the fire station
department and they arrived quickly as fast as they can. The
fireman found out that the neighbour was injured, and they
called the ambulance immediately. The ambulance came to the
area very fast. They found the neighbour and went to the
hospital. Three days later after the explosion, the neighbour
had 35% of skin burn. Michael and his family were worried about
the neighbour because he was so helpful and friendly. The whole
family went to the hospital to look up for the neighbour. After
finding the neighbour, the neighbour told the family that his dog
played with his oven when jumping. The neighbour’s dog died
after the fire explosion. “We will help you,” the family said. The
neighbour thanked the family. 12 days later after the explosion,
the family began to rebuild the house, and the neighbour is
healthy again. Now, the neighbour’s dog is dead sadly. The
neighbour must buy a new dog. The neighbour is saved now.
Thanks to Michael that the neighbour’s life is saved.
