A Lesson Learned about Fire Safety

Fire Safety Week

Reading Comprehension for October 11

Jan ran to meet Kayla after school. "Did you hear about Paul?"


"No," said Kayla. "What happened?"


"He was playing with matches. Some leaves caught on fire. Then his pants started to burn."


Kayla's eyes grew wide. "Is he O.K.?"


"He will be. Right now he is in the hospital. He has a bad burn on his leg," said Jan sadly. "When I get home, I'm going to ask my mom if I can go see him."


"If you do, will you call me after you visit him?"


"Sure," said Jan.


When Jan arrived home, she found her mom in the living room on the phone.


Jan waited until Mom hung up the phone. "Hi, Mom."


"Hello, dear. How was your day?"


"It was sad," said Jan.


"You must know about Paul."
