She gave Arun a pair of binoculars. They were fantastic. From the window of his hospital room, Arun watched the people in the streets and the boats on the river. And he watched his friends playing cricket in front of the school. This made him very happy. But what was that? Suddenly Arun saw something in the woods behind the school. He was very worried and called the nurse. There was a fire. The hospital called the fire brigade and soon the fire was put out. That evening, Arun\u2019s hospital room was full of people.
