It was a dark night. I saw bright light in my neighbor's kitchen. I thought he could be having a midnight
snack so I went back to my bed. Soon, there was a burning smell and I thought something must be
wrong. At once, I jumped out of bed and went downstairs to have a look. I saw a fire (火) coming out of
my neighbor's kitchen. I shouted "Fire!" But there was no one nearby to hear my shouts for help. I ran
quickly into my house and called the Fire Department (消防部门) and went back to my neighbor's house.
I knocked (敲) at the door and called my neighbor's name, but there was no answer. I tried to break into
the house and saved a cat and a rabbit. I tried to pour water through the kitchen window but it was no
use, the fire is too big. Luckily, a fire engine (消防车) arrived and the firemen put out the fire.
When my neighbor came back, he was sad because his kitchen was burnt down, but he thanked me for
calling the Fire Department and for saving his pets.
A week later, my neighbor invited me to his home for dinner. At his new kitchen, he took a photo of
me. Later on, he gave me the photo as a present. It made me very happy.
