About the story

It is the year 1666. London is an old city with lots of narrow streets. A lot of people are ill because there are rats in all the streets and the houses. One evening, a baker, Thomas Farriner, and his daughter, Harriet, are making bread.

It is late. โ€˜We must work quickly,โ€™ says Thomas. โ€˜We need this bread for the King in the morning.โ€™

Just then, Mary, the bakerโ€™s maid, comes in.

โ€˜Youโ€™re late, Mary!โ€™ says Thomas. โ€˜Sorry, Mr Farriner,โ€™ says Mary.

Thomas, Harriet and Mary make bread for two hours. Then Mr Farrinerโ€™s wife, Anne, calls down to them. โ€˜Time for bed, girls,โ€™ she says.

โ€˜Weโ€™re just finishing,โ€™ says Harriet.

Harriet and Mary go up to bed. Thomas takes the bread from the oven.

โ€˜Good. The fire is nearly out now,โ€™ thinks Thomas.

โ€˜Thomas!โ€™ calls Anne. โ€˜What are you doing? Itโ€™s very late.โ€™

Thomas goes up to bed but he doesnโ€™t close the oven door. An hour later the bakerโ€™s shop is on fire.

โ€˜Wake up girls! Wake up!โ€™ cries Anne. โ€˜The house is on fire!โ€™
