  I had never seen a house on fire before, so, one evening when I heard fire engines with loud alarm bells rushing past my house. I quickly ran out and, a few streets away joined a large crowd of people. We could see the fire only from a distance because the police would not allow anyone near the building on fire.

This oxygen is needed by all living organisms. Trees also provide shelter to many animals.   The roots of trees bind the soil and help it from being washed away by water or wind. They help in maintaining the right temperature on Earth. To con
