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.

The fire had been a terrible shock to <strong>the</strong> entire family. They had few possessions<br />
before <strong>the</strong> fire. Now everything was lost. Even <strong>the</strong>ir photographs and memories<br />
had burnt to ashes.<br />
Sunita was mourning over her burnt toys, bed, and clo<strong>the</strong>s. But her biggest concern<br />
was <strong>the</strong>ir puppy, Taro. After <strong>the</strong> fire <strong>the</strong>re had been no sign of him, even though <strong>the</strong><br />
cousins had searched everywhere in <strong>the</strong> neighborhood for days.<br />
Sunita’s parents went on and on bickering. She was too tired to listen to it, feeling<br />
bad enough as it was.<br />
“This is not my fault ei<strong>the</strong>r!” she yelled at <strong>the</strong>m and slammed <strong>the</strong> window.<br />
“She’s not herself,” her mo<strong>the</strong>r said, shaking her head, and continued to search<br />
through <strong>the</strong> ashes.<br />
