I see the fire down the street, I hope
everyone is ok. As I look out the window I see scout and Jem on the
sidewalk. Atticus must have left them there for safe keeping. I
hope they are ok and not frighten. It must be cold out there. We
have had an unusual snowstorm for our area, so surely they are
freezing. Oh my, they don’t have any coats on and I can see scout
rocking back and forth. If I were to walk quietly, they may not see
me. Something about that little girl drives me to her. I must help
if I can. As I grabbed a blanket and walked slowly toward scout, I
heard the crackling of the fire and felt the heat this far away.
Scout was so absorbed in the sights of the fire, she didn’t even
know I placed the blanket on her shoulders. Oh how I wish she would
have turned around and said thank you.
