John Dancer’s troubles began as soon as he walked into Holiday Hotel with his friend，Charlie．Together they went to the information desk．John said，“Good evening．My name is John Dancer．I’ve booked a room here．”
The clerk said，“You’re welcome to stay，sir，but we don’t allow pets in this hotel．” “Pets!” cried John．“Charlie isn’t a pet．I’m blind and he’s my eyes．He takes me everywhere．Don’t you，Charlie?”
Charlie barked．It sounded like “Yes”．
“I’m sorry，sir，” the clerk said again，
“But it’s against the rules．”
“Please call the manager，” John said．
The manager came．He agreed at once that John and Charlie could both stay there．He himself showed them to their room．Before entering，John said，“Can you tell me where the fire exit(出口)is?”
“It’s the fifth door along from yours，” said the manager．
“Thank you，” said John．“Safety first，you know．”
“You’re quite right，sir，” the manager said and left．
Later John told us what had happened next．
“1 was tired and went to sleep．Charlie woke me．He was pulling at my blanket and barking．I smelt smoke! A fire! But where? I went to the door of my room and felt it．The door was hot，so I didn’t open it．I made my coat wet and put it along the bottom(底部) of the door．
“I tried the phone，but it was dead．I coughed(咳嗽)．A little smoke was coming through the wet coat．So I lay on the floor with Charlie beside me and waited．The minutes seemed like hours．Then I heard the fire engine(引擎)，It was music to my ears．”
“I opened the window and shouted．Charlie barked，too．Moments later，we were both safe on the ground．”
“So you saved Charlie’s life!”I said．
“Yes，and he saved mine．”said John．
