My master decided one day to visit some friends. James Howard，a stable（马厩）boy was to drive them. The first day we travelled thirty﹣two miles
Just as the sun was going down，we reached the town where we would spend the night. We stopped at a big hotel in the Market Place. We were taken to a long stable
In the evening，a young man with a pipe in his mouth came into the stable for a gossip（闲谈）.
"Towler，"said an ostler（马夫），"put some hay down into this horse's rack
"All right，" said the ostler. Later I heard him step across the floor overhead and put down the hay. Then James came in for a last look at us before he went to bed.
At night I woke up feeling very uncomfortable. The stable seemed full of smoke and I couldn't breathe.
Just then Dick Towler came in with a lantern and began to untie the horses. He seemed so frightened that he frightened us，too，and none of us would go with him
Next I heard James's voice，"Come on，Beauty，and he led me out of the stable to a safe place，then he went back for another.
I was joyful when James was coming through the smoke，leading Ginger out. Soon firemen arrived with a heavy fire engine and quickly put out the fire.
Next day，everyone was wondering how the fire had started. At last someone remembered that Dick Towler had been smoking a pipe when he came into the stable. Dick said that he had put his pipe down，but no one believed him. Pipes were never allowed in the stable at Birtwick Park.
①Firemen put out the fire quickly with a heavy fire engine.
