    Some time ago, a fire broke out(爆发) in a building late at night. Nearly all the families were s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} inside the house. After the firemen came, they rushed into the burning building and saved the people to the safe p{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    The crowds thought a{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the people were safe. But it was not so. Two little orphan （孤儿) girls were still asleep alone at the very top of the building, in a small room. N{#blank#}4{#/blank#} thought of them. Luckily, they lived with a dog.

    The dog tried to wake them up, but f{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. He ran to the window and barked(吠叫) loudly for help. B{#blank#}6{#/blank#} no one noticed him. Then he climbed down the ladder (梯子) and tried to pull a fireman to the ladder. The fireman kicked him away, thinking he was mad. Then the dog ran to a{#blank#}7{#/blank#} fireman, jumped on him, ran to the ladder, barking all the time and looking back as if he was asking the fireman to follow him.

    This fireman realized there must be someone in the little room, as the dog was acting so strangely. So he followed the dog u{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the ladder, there he saw the two girls and saved them.

    Where was the d{#blank#}9{#/blank#}? A brave fireman rushed into the room to look for him and found him lying near the window, choked (窒息) with smoke. He brought him down with care, but he was already d{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. He had given his life for his friends. What a faithful friend!
