Today Ms.Maudies Ms.Maudies house burnt down. I felt really bad for her because all of her things were getting destroyed. My father and the other neighbors tried to save her furniture.

When my dad came back for us he noticed that there was a blanket on scout. I had just noticed it to. Me and scout had no idea how it got on there. We think it was Boo radley who put it on her because everyone else in the neighbor hood. Ms.Maudie says that she was gald that her house burnt down. She says that her old house was to small and she wanted more room for her garden. I dont think shes telling the truth because she has to miss something in that house. But im glad that shes happy.
