Tom is a kind man. He is a firefighter. Tom wears red boots and a big red hat. In the morning, Tom goes to the fire station. His friends are there. They wave and smile.
Tom checks his fire truck. It is red and shiny. He sees the big, long hose. It sleeps on the truck. Tom pats it gently. “Good hose,” he says. Tom looks at his helmet. It feels safe and strong.
Ding-ding! The bell rings. A little cat is on a tree. She is too high. She cannot get down. Tom smiles. He says, “I can help!” Tom climbs in the fire truck. His friend drives fast, but not too fast.
At the tree, Tom sees the cat. “Hello, kitty,” says Tom. He puts a ladder next to the tree. Tom climbs up, step by step. He reaches the cat. “It's okay,” says Tom. The cat meows. Tom gives a gentle hug. The cat feels safe now.
Tom goes down with the cat. The cat's friend says, “Thank you, Tom!” Tom smiles. The cat purrs and rubs Tom's hand.
At home, everyone feels happy. Tom waves goodbye and goes back to the fire station.
Every day, firefighters help people and animals. It is nice to help others.
