Soumya
was an eight year old girl. She was a bright and smart girl. She had a five
year old brother named Raghav. Their mother and father worked in a bank. So,
when they were not home, she would often take good care of Raghav.
One
day, Soumya was alone at home. The parents had gone to attend a wedding in the
city. Soumya played with Raghav for a while. She also read a story to him.
Then, Raghav went to sleep.
Soumya
then decided to watch cartoons on the television. As she was enjoying the show,
she suddenly saw thick smoke coming out of her parents’ bedroom.
She
knew that something was wrong. “Oh God, a fire has broken out,” she shouted.
But she
did not panic. She called her father, “Papa, there is a fire in your bedroom. I
have called the neighbors for help. I am also going to call the fire service.”
“Well
done Soumya, you did the right thing,” said her father, “we are leaving
immediately. I am coming home in ten minutes.”
Soon
the neighbours came and took Soumya and Raghav out of the house. Soumya had
already called the fire service. With in no time, the fire brigade came and put
out the fire.
Soumya’s
parents came home quickly. Everyone praised Sourmya for her brave act. Brave
Soumya, she saved the house from fire. “We are so proud of you. You are a brave
girl.” Said her mother and hugged her.
