Int: Not many people are so lucky. Did the fire affect
you in any way ?
Chr: Oh, yes. Yes, very much, in fact. Although I lost
many things in the fire, the experience helped me to
grow up.


Int: What do you mean ?
Chr:Well, before the fire, I was selfish. I always
complained to my mother about how small my room
was, or how few clothes I had. Then the fire came and
destroyed everything we owned. But I slowly began to
realize that I didn’t really need my old things. I just
needed my family. After all, you can get new clothes
anytime, but a family can never be replaced
Int: I see, so the fire took many things from you, but it
gave you something, too.

more than things.
