What does the author notice one Sunday afternoon? What is his mother’s reaction? What does she do?
Solution and Explanation
A peculiar odor caught the author's attention one Sunday afternoon. Then he noticed smoke swiftly filling the room as it began to stream in through the ceiling's cracks. They hardly saw anything at all. The roof had caught fire and was rapidly spreading by the time they dashed into the front yard. His mother bolted back inside.
