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. β€˜We must work quickly,’ says Thomas. β€˜We need this bread for the King in the morning.’

Just then, Mary, the baker’s maid, comes in.

β€˜You’re late, Mary!’ says Thomas. β€˜Sorry, Mr Farriner,’ says Mary.

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

β€˜We’re just finishing,’ says Harriet.

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

β€˜Good. The fire is nearly out now,’ thinks Thomas.

β€˜Thomas!’ calls Anne. β€˜What are you doing? It’s very late.’

Thomas goes up to bed but he doesn’t close the oven door. An hour later the baker’s shop is on fire.

β€˜Wake up girls! Wake up!’ cries Anne. β€˜The house is on fire!’
