Question

The moon was behind a cloud and there weren’t many stars in the sky.

It was a dark night. I saw a glow(光，光亮) in my neighbour’s kitchen. I thought he was having a night meal so I went back to my bed.

Soon, there was a smell of burning (燒東西的焦糊味) in the air and I thought there was probably something wrong. I jumped out of the bed quickly and went out to make sure. I saw a fire coming out of my neighbour’s kitchen. Then I shouted "Fire! Fire!" But no one in the neighbourhood heard my shouts for help.

I ran into my house, called the fire department (消防隊(duì)) and went back to my neighbour’s house. I banged（猛敲）on the door and called out my neighbour’s name, but there was no answer. Finally I got into the house and rescued a cat and a dog.

I tried to pour water through the kitchen window but it was no use. It was a big fire. Luckily, the firemen arrived soon and stopped the fire.

When my neighbour came back, he was sad for his kitchen but he thanked me for calling the fire department and for saving his pets. He wanted to give me some money but I did not accept it.

Weeks later, my neighbour had a new kitchen. He invited me to see his new kitchen and we enjoyed a big meal there. It made me very happy.
