Kitchen Inferno

Kitchen Inferno

story by Huang Yipeng


One afternoon, while I was doing my homework in my room, I

heard a

loud explosion in the kitchen. I rushed to the kitchen to

investigate.

I saw my mother screaming in pain, her clothes were

badly burnt and there

was still some fire on her. I quickly rushed to my room,

grabbed a thick blanket

and wrapped it around my mother to put out the fire.

By this time, all my other family members had

rushed to the kitchen with

worried looks on their faces. My brother called the

ambulance; my sister brought

my mother to the couch to lie down. My father and I put out

the fire on the stove.

The kitchen was in a great mess. The walls were

black with soot and some

windows were smashed. The pots and pans that were on the

stove were charred.

We discovered that the new gas cylinder under the stove

had exploded. Father said that

it must have been faulty.


Drag to help us to the hospital

Very soon, the ambulance arrived and took our mother to the

hospital.

Father accompanied her in the ambulance. The doctor at the

hospital quickly treated her.

Mother's burns were serious and she had to stay in the

hospital for two weeks.

Flower GrowingWhile mother was in the hospital, we

tidied the kitchen, painted

the walls and bought new pots and pans. The windows were

fixed and the kitchen

looked nicer than before.

We brought flowers and fruits and visited mother


every day. Mother finally

recovered and every one was happy when she was able to come

home.
