The
police
had
to
hold
back
the
crowds
of
people
gathering
in
the
square
so
that
the
fire
engine
could
get
through
.
The
flames
came
leaping
out
of
the
windows
of
the
Skyscraper
,
and
smoke
and
sparks
enveloped
the
firemen
who
were
courageously
trying
to
put
out
the
fire
.
The
fire
had
started
on
the
first
floor
but
was
quickly
spreading
to
the
upper
stories
.
662
Suddenly
the
crowd
saw
a
sight
that
made
them
gasp
with
horror
.
At
the
top
of
the
house
was
a
gable
,
and
in
the
gable
window
,
which
a
little
child
's
hand
had
just
opened
,
stood
two
little
boys
calling
for
help
.
"
We
ca
n't
get
out
because
somebody
has
built
a
fire
on
the
stairs
,
"
cried
the
older
boy
.
663
He
was
five
and
his
brother
a
year
younger
.
Their
mother
had
gone
out
on
an
errand
,
and
there
they
stood
,
all
alone
.
Many
of
the
people
in
the
square
began
to
cry
,
and
the
fire
chief
looked
worried
.
There
was
,
of
course
,
a
ladder
on
the
fire
truck
,
but
it
would
n't
reach
anywhere
near
to
the
little
boys
.
To
get
into
the
house
to
save
the
children
was
impossible
.
A
wave
of
despair
swept
over
the
crowd
in
the
square
when
they
realized
there
was
no
way
to
help
the
children
.
And
the
poor
little
things
just
stood
up
there
and
cried
.

In
the
midst
of
the
crowd
in
the
square
sat
Pippi
on
her
horse
.
She
looked
with
great
interest
at
the
fire
engine
and
wondered
if
she
should
buy
one
like
it
.
She
liked
it
because
it
was
red
and
because
it
made
such
a
fearful
noise
as
it
went
through
the
streets
.
665
Then
she
looked
at
the
fire
and
she
thought
it
was
fun
when
a
few
sparks
fell
on
her
.
666
Presently
she
noticed
the
little
boys
up
in
the
attic
.
To
her
astonishment
they
looked
as
if
they
were
n't
enjoying
the
fire
at
all
.
That
was
more
than
she
could
understand
,
and
at
last
she
had
to
ask
the
crowd
around
her
,
"
Why
are
the
children
crying
?
"
667
First
she
got
only
sobs
in
answer
,
but
finally
a
stout
gentleman
said
,
"
Well
,
what
do
you
think
?
Do
n't
you
suppose
you
'd
cry
yourself
if
you
were
up
there
and
could
n't
get
down
?
"

"
I
never
cry
,
"
said
Pippi
.
"
But
if
they
want
to
get
down
,
why
does
n't
somebody
help
them
?
"
669
"
Because
it
is
n't
possible
,
of
course
,
"
said
the
stout
gentleman
.
670
Pippi
thought
for
a
while
.
Then
she
asked
,
"
Can
anybody
bring
me
a
long
rope
?
"
