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.

Finally, Sunita’s parents nodded and asked Sunita to<br />
join <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
“Your teacher is going to take you to <strong>the</strong> town,” her mo<strong>the</strong>r<br />
told her. “She knows a good doctor <strong>the</strong>re who can help you<br />
feel better.”<br />
“But we can’t afford a doctor now, can we?” Sunita asked anxiously.<br />
“We have to rebuild our home.”<br />
“Don’t you worry, dear child,” <strong>the</strong> teacher consoled her. “This<br />
doctor is my friend and happy to help you.”<br />
