Miss White was the owner of a little bakery.She was forty years old,and she was not married.
A customer who came to Miss White's bakery two or three times a week had never asked for any good bread,but,strangely enough,he wanted only two pieces of old and dry bread each time.
One day Miss White found on the customer's finger red and brown dirt.
She guessed that the customer probably was a poor artist.He lived in an old house,where he painted pictures and ate dry bread.Miss White,a woman with a kind heart,noticed that the customer began to look thinner and very sad,so she wanted to do something for him.
As usual the customer came again and ordered two pieces of dry bread.Suddenly a fire car came by with a great sound.When the customer hurried to the door to look,Miss White quickly cut the bread with a knife and put a lot of butter into it.She covered the bread with paper before the customer turned back to the counter(柜台).Not long after,the customer returned and shouted angry words with Miss White.“I'll kill you.You have made my picture waste.I have been working hard for three months drawing a picture for a new city hall.I always make my drawing in pencil first,and when it's done,I cleaned the pencil lines with dry and hard bread pieces.”
Hearing that,Miss White knew how foolish her kind heart was.

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2, 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. Over one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives .
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall among them .
Samuel Pepys , the famous writer, writer about the fire, “People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat .”
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path(路径) of the fire.With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone.In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among which was the new St Paul’s
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.
