Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn't the tiny flame I'd expected, and I couldn't blow it out. I threw it on the floor, and then luckily got my dad's boots and _ it _ . I thought I was safe until there was a huge hole in my room. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole.
