Saved from the Flames
Little Sunita and her family are trying to start a new life after a terrible fire. Their home and possessions— including all of Sunita's schoolbooks and toys—burned to ashes in the blaze. Worst of all, their puppy Taro is missing. Sunita’s parents are busy building their new home, and no one has time to listen to Sunita's worries. But she is lucky enough to have an observant teacher, who comes to her aid. The teacher takes Sunita to meet her doctor friend and she teaches Sunita how to knit a new sleep toy to replace the missing one. Sunita learns that you can be wounded not only on the outside but also beneath the surface. Fortunately, both can heal.

yard. Just one week ago, Sunita’s home had stood <strong>the</strong>re on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side of <strong>the</strong><br />
yard. Now all that was left were ashes and ruins of walls and furniture. Fortunately,<br />
<strong>the</strong> family had managed to escape <strong>the</strong> fire.<br />
Outside, Sunita’s parents were clearing out <strong>the</strong> damaged remains and arguing loudly.<br />
“How many times did I mention <strong>the</strong> broken fireplace?” Sunita’s mo<strong>the</strong>r said angrily<br />
in a high-pitched voice. “You should’ve fixed it ages ago. This wouldn’t have happened<br />
if you hadn’t been so lazy.”<br />
“The fire wouldn’t have happened if you had been more careful with <strong>the</strong> stove!”<br />
Sunita’s fa<strong>the</strong>r snapped back.<br />
