A little boy about ten years old was standing in front of a shoe shop, bare-footed, looking through the window and shivering with cold. lady walked up to the boy and asked, "My little fellow, why are you standing here? It's very cold." "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes, "the boy answered. The lady took him by the hand and went into the shop.

She asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks. And she then asked if he could give her a basin of warm water and a towel. The clerk quickly brought them to her. She washed the boy's feet and dried them with the towel. After that, she put a pair of socks on the boy's feet and bought him a pair of shoes. She gave him the other five pairs of socks.

Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate(氣候) change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions. When lightening strikes( 發(fā)生雷電) dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives.

Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire .They didn't allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation. Thicker vegetation means more fuel（燃料） for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead.The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting- practices.

Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to bum naturally. Sometimes. fire fighters even start fires to get rid of(去除) dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat(威脅) to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally
