Perceiving the danger, the narrator and his mother went outside, but suddenly, his mother realised that she had forgotten to bring the important documents from the house and her death husband's photograph. So, she decided to bring those documents and the photographs from the burning house. On the next moment, the author saw his mother going inside. Due to emotional outburst, he too strived to go inside but he was caught by one of the fireman. In the meantime, his mother was saved and they wrapped blankets around them.
Suddenly, the author recollected that his pet cat was missing and could not find her anywhere. He became upset and cried on not finding his cat and thought that his pet might have died in the fire.
Due to this terrible accident, they didn't have any money left. Zan and his mother went to his grandparents’ house. The next day, he went to school wearing the same clothes which he wore the previous day.
He was upset desperately and felt insecure about his dilapidated condition. For a moment, he felt a huge loss and missed his old school, his teachers, his friends, his old house and his pet cat. That day, after school hours, he revisited his burnt house and was shocked to see the destruction done by the fire. He saw that whatever hadn’t burned was damaged by the water and chemicals used by the firefighters to put out the fire. He lost everything and felt lonely now.
Soon the news about fire was spread in his new school and now all the new students and teaching faculty helped him by providing notebooks, clothes, school supplies, etc. The author’s heart was touched after seeing the concern of the people of his new school and was overcome by emotion. Now he was full of gratitude. Also, he was thankful to the lady who brought his cat to him. Thus, he felt jubilant in the end and realised that house and home are two different things. Now he got to know that a home is a place where we have emotions, affection and love towards each others.
