heard a loud bang. I supposed that the old lady in the flat above ours was

moving the furniture about. My wife was afraid that the noise would wake

the baby. She turned down the TV and moment latter we heard someone

calling for help.

I run upstairs. The old lady’s door was shut but I could see smoke coming

through the letter box and under the door and smell something burning.”

Ring the fire brigade .” I should down to my wife.

I banged on the door but the old lady took a long time answer. I was turning

over in my mind the idea of breaking the door down when she finally

appeared.

“I was having a bath,” she said,” when the water heater in the kitchen blew

up. And I was getting dressed when you knocked.

the heater was in flames. Just then I heard a fire engine arriving outside and

the heavy footsteps of the firemen on the stairs.” It’s in here,” I shouted,”

You turned up promptly, I must say.”

When I got back to our flat, my wife was making the old lady a cup of tea,

Soon afterwards, the fire chief came in to ask a few questions. It turned out

that the fire was not very serious and the firemen were already putting it

out. When they left, my wife went up with the old lady to help her clean up

the mess.

When she returned, my wife remarked : “It’s all right now. Nothing was

damaged except the water heater. But wasn’t it lucky that baby slept

through the noise ?’

She took the teacups into the kitchen and I heard her scream and the cups

crash to the floor. When I got there, water dripping from the ceiling and

forming a pool on the floor. The baby woke up at least and began to cry.
