Lily likes to read books. She has many books in her room. She reads them every night before she sleeps. She likes to read with a light on. The light makes the pictures bright and pretty.
One night, Lily hears a noise. She looks out of her window. She sees a big truck. The truck has many lights. The lights are red and blue and yellow. They flash and blink. The truck makes a loud sound. It sounds like a siren.
Lily is scared. She runs to her mom and dad. She says, "Mom, dad, there is a crazy truck outside. It has many lights and it makes a loud sound. What is it?"
Mom and dad hug Lily. They say, "Don't worry, Lily. It is not a crazy truck. It is a fire truck. It is here to help. There is a fire in the house next door. The fire truck has lights and a siren to tell people to move away. The firemen will put out the fire and make everyone safe."
Lily feels better. She says, "Oh, I see. Thank you, mom and dad. Can I go back to my room and read my books?"
Mom and dad say, "Yes, you can. But first, let's say a prayer for our neighbors. We hope they are okay."
Lily says a prayer with mom and dad. Then she goes back to her room. She turns on her light and reads her books. She is not scared anymore. She is happy. She likes to read books.
