KINDNESS

Abu walks to school every morning. On one particular morning as he was on his way to school, he suddenly saw Ah Lee Tailor shop on fire.

      

As it was still early he could see no one else around. There seemed to be no one inside the burning shop either.

       

Quickly Abu ran to a telephone booth nearby and dialled '999' for the fire brigade. He briefly told them the location of the burning shop.

      

Soon a fire-engine arrived with its siren wailing. It stopped in front of the shop and the fireman quickly went about their task of putting out the fire. They battled for about an hour before the fire was extinguished.

      

The fire had burnt part of the shop's first floor and it was left black and charred. At least the shop was saved by the quick action of the fireman.

     

  After seeing that there was no more danger the fireman left.

    

   Ah Lee, the owner of tailor shop was glad that Abu saw the fire and informed the fire brigade. Otherwise he could have lost his shop. He shooked Ali's hand and expressed his thanks.
