She heard strange sounds; she could smell smoke. The room was full of smoke. She coughed. What was happening? Her bedroom door opened with a bang and her mother ran in, her face white. “Get up Sally, we have to go! Get dressed now!” Her mother disappeared back into the house. Sally jumped from her bed and opened the window. Screams and cries came from the streets below. Sally watched people throw their things into carts, horses threading the ground, keen to leave. “Hey, what’s happening?” Sally yelled. “Fire!” her neighbour shouted back. “Coming from Pudding Lane! Get out now Sally! No one is safe!” Sally pulled her window shut and got changed as quickly as she could. Downstairs, she found her father, mother and sister jamming their things into a handcart. They watched people trying to put out the big fire with leather buckets full of water. It didn’t seem to make any difference, as the fire jumped from one building to the next. “The houses are so close tighter and made of wood!” Sally noticed, as she tripped over candlesticks, burnt pans and odd bits of furniture that people had dropped in the streets. The grocer’s boy, Tom Winter, saw Sally and said, “Some people are going to St. Paul’s Cathedral to stay safe. Made of stone. Won’t burn like wood.” Sally nodded, but followed her parents down the dark street. They walked and walked. Finally, they arrived at Moorfields. It was a wide-open space with no buildings to burn. They were safe. 88. Sally’s house was on fire, wasn’t it? 89. Why did Sally cough? 90. Where did the fire start? 91. How were people trying to put out the fire? 92.

Tom bought a ticket to New York. Tim had a ticket to Boston. When they got to the station, they heard that New Yorkers were very cold and valued money very much, while the people in Boston were simple, and they showed pity on those who slept on the streets. Tom thought it was better to go to Boston. “Even if I can’t make any money, I will not die of hunger.” Tim felt New York was better because a man could even earn money by leading the way for others. “If I had got on that train to Boston, I would have lost the opportunities to make a fortune.” At last they exchanged their tickets. Tom found Boston was really good. Though he had no job for more than a month, he still had something to eat in big supermarkets without any payment. Tim found he could make money everywhere in New York. With his hard work, he became a rich man several years later. Tim once had a trip to Boston. When he walked along a street, he saw a hand reaching for money on the roadside. He stopped and looked at him carefully. The hand was just Tom’s. D.
