John and Mary had two lovely children. Once they were asked to go on a business trip. So they found a babysitter to take care1the children.
A week later, as they drove into their hometown, they noticed smoke and went to see2. A house was on fire! Mary said, "Well, the house isn't3. Let's go."
But John kept driving4, "The house belongs to Fred." "It has nothing to do with us, let's go." said Mary.
But John drove up. A woman5 in the street, "My children! Help! Help!" John asked her6him where her children were. "In7bathroom," cried the woman.
8Mary didn't agree, John hurried for the bathroom9was full of smoke and heat. He soon found two children. As he left he could hear some other sound like crying. He10sent the two children to a safe place. But he11two more children were still inside. Mary shouted," Don't go back! That house12down in any second!"
John went back by13his way down into the room. It seemed a century had passed before he found both the children14the return way. As he walked up the endless steps, the thought went through his mind that there was15strangely familiar about the little bodies, and at last when they came out, he found that he had just saved his own children!
The babysitter had left them at this house while she did some shopping.
