One day, in New York City, there was a happy family. It was June

15, 2012. The mom Caroline, father Frank, Billy the son and

the daughter Josey, went to the park with their pet, Komoda, the

Komodo dragon.

When they were at the park, Josey and Billy were playing at

the playground. They were running around with Komoda.

Soon it started to get dark, so they started to walk home. They watched T.V. for a while. Then it

was bedtime.

The next morning, Caroline was making breakfast, and it was a beautiful day. The birds where

chirping. It was around 90’ and it was as hot as an oven outside.

The family had to go to a relative’s house that day . It was June 16, 2012. When they left

the house and they left Kamoda at home.

Kamoda didn’t like being left home alone, so Kamoda started

getting into things. He got behind the T.V.CRACK!

Kamoda bit through the T.V. wire! The wire was still hot. It caught the rug on fire in minutes. The

family still wasn’t home.

9-1-1

The neighbors call Caroline and told her the house was on fire!

The family rushed home.

The sirens on the fire truck were blasting. The fire truck finally got

there. It seemed like a million years until they got there. It took

hours to get the fire out. Luckily, Kamoda was fine.

The family started looking for a house the next day. The only house they could find was in California, so they started packing up the rest of their things. The family started to drive. It took about a week to get

there. They lived happy ever after in their

new home.
