The clock on the tower had struck twelve. I was sleeping on the roof of my house. Suddenly I heard shouts of “Fire, Fire!” I woke up at once and looked out in the street. I saw a house on fire. It was at some distance away from my house. I ran downstairs and reached the place. Many people had collected there. They were trying to put out the fire. They were throwing water and sand on it. But it did not prove of much help. A strong wind was blowing. Some cries were heard from inside the house. The house belonged to a shopkeeper.
