The Accident
On the way to the birthday party they hear someone cry for help.
Both run in the direction from where they heard the scream.
An old man is sitting alone on the edge of the street.
old man: Everything happened so fast.
Mary: Tell us the whole story!
old man: My neighbors were celebrating a wedding and then something caught on fire.
The flames went out of control.
They spread through the whole house, to the living room, to the ground floor, everywhere.
Everyone ran and screamed and bashed the windows in.
And then there was this brave fireman.
He helped everyone out. The people who got hurt are now in the hospital.
old man: No, I am unharmed. Luckily, nothing happened to me.
