to find it so smoke-filled that they
could scarcely enter. Pushing their
way through the density of it, they

parched and the floor beneath it be

Mary called the fire department and
turned on the spigot filling all avail

Press rushed these up the stairs and
onto the fire in no time at all, then
when the real firemen arrived they
finished up the job of extinguishing
the flames. Just one more social
call and Mary and Press would have
been homeless.
