A little girl lived with her grandmother after her parents died. They slept in an upstairs bedroom.

One night there was a big fire in their house. The grandmother died when she was trying to save the child. The whole house was burning.

The little girl appeared at the window, crying for help. All the neighbors wanted to help the child. But they had no way to do it.

Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder. He put it up and climbed into the room. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He dropped the child to the waiting arms below, then disappeared into the night.

Everyone knew the child had no living relatives. So the people in the town held a meeting to decide who would raise her.

A teacher said she would raise the child. She could give her the best education. A farmer wanted to take her to his farm. He said the living on the farm was interesting and healthy. Everyone in the town wanted to keep the child and they all tried to give her a happy life.

Finally, the town’s richest man stood up and said, “I can give this child whatever she needs. I can buy her everything.” The girl kept silent all the time.

“Does anyone else want to speak?” asked the chairman of the meeting.

A man came from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and looked painful. Then he stopped before the little girl, holding out his arms. Everyone watched quietly. His hands and arms were badly burnt..

The child cried out, “This is the man who saved me.” With a jump, she put her arms around the man’s neck. She put her face on his shoulder and cried for a few minutes. Then she looked up and smiled at him.

“This meeting is over.” said the chairman.
