A young man is walking home from school one day. It is a typical day for him. He finished school for the day, is walking home to an empty house. For as long as he has been in school his mom and dad have always worked. He waas told never to tell anyone he would be or is home alone. He thought he would make his way home, have a snack, and then watch tv. He never did homeowrk until at least one parent got home. Today would turn out to be different. He was about half way home when out of no where his mom called to make sure he had a good day at school. Ring, Ring, rrrriiinnnggg went the phone.

“Hello, mom.” He answered.

“Hey honey, how was your day?” Asked mom.

“Good.” He stated. He kept walking all the way home as he talked to his mom. He finished hung up with his mom just as he turned onto his sterrt. He was four house away when he tripped over a blanket that was bunched up on the sidewalk. He was not sure why it was ther but he dcied to take it home. He wlked the rest of the way home dragging the blanket. Once inside the house he decied to make a snack. He had never really cooked other than with her mom. Once in the house he set the blanket diown and his backpack.

He normally had chips, or crackers, or something simple for a snack while watching tv. Today he decied he wanted macaroni and cheese. He figured it could be hard to make. He pulled out a pot and found the box of macaroni and cheese. He filled the pot of water abd put it on the stove. He turn the stove on but was not sure how high so he turned it only to medium. Then he went to go watch tv. As usual he fell alseep watching tv. He woke up coughing. The pot had ran out of water and the itchen was full of smoke. He did not know what to do so he grabbed the blanket he brought home and ran into the kitchen. He started coughing really bad. He had to think quick. He turned off the stove and through the blanket on top of the ptot and the stove.

The air started to clear up. He left the blanket on the stove until his mom got home. She was more upset that he had a dirty filthy blanket on the stove more than anything. She was happy he was okay.
